SteriLux wins the “Coup de Pouce” Prize

SteriLux is the sole winner of the Coup de Pouce prize awarded by the Dr. René Liechti Foundation.

The Foundation’s annual grant of CHF 50’000 is intended to support business projects in the start-up phase. Start-ups are mainly evaluated according to three specific criteria:

1. Target: The project must bring innovation or sustainable progress in areas such as economy, ecology, health, poverty alleviation, vital needs (water, energy etc.)
2. The stage of maturation: The Foundation’s competition is aimed at “young shoots” at the beginning of their development
3. The “Coup de Pouce” effect: Applicants who already have substantial funds, who benefit from other grants and prizes or who benefit from partnerships that ensure their financing do not have priority over those for whom the award is decisive
