Hub Membership

Switzerland’s startups depend on hubs like yours – technoparks, accelerators, co-working spaces, and university programs – to turn bold ideas into thriving ventures. As the political voice of Swiss startups, the Swiss Startup Association (SSA) unites the country’s leading hubs under one national umbrella – giving you a voice in policy, recognition as a driver of innovation, and stronger connections across the Swiss Startup ecosystem.

With Hub Membership, you gain direct influence, valuable perks for your startups, and a powerful peer network.

Join us in shaping a more dynamic, globally competitive, startup-friendly Switzerland.

At the Swiss Startup Association, we see a hub as more than just a space. It’s an organization or environment dedicated to empowering startups and entrepreneurs. A hub plays a critical role in the innovation ecosystem by offering the resources, services, community, and connections that early-stage ventures need to grow and thrive.

This can include, but isn’t limited to:

Innovation-driven hubs offering state-of-the-art infrastructure, R&D facilities, and access to talent and industry clusters. They provide startups with credibility, collaboration opportunities, and a launchpad for scaling.

Structured programs that support early-stage ventures with mentorship, funding opportunities, expert guidance, and growth pathways. They help startups refine business models, build networks, and accelerate to market readiness.

Flexible, affordable work environments that foster creativity, collaboration, and networking. Many also host events, workshops, and investor meetups, creating a vibrant community for startups and freelancers alike.

Initiatives designed to nurture student entrepreneurship through education, mentorship, funding, and incubation. They connect young founders with research, industry partners, and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
