Performance of ETH spin-offs
ETH spin-offs over the years
Since 1973, a total of 583 spin-offs have been created at ETH Zurich. You can find a list of all spin-offs and a good overview of the key details here; information on acquisitions and IPOs of ETH spin-offs can be found here. Recognised ETH spin-offs receive support from the ETH Domain Knowledge Transfer and Corporate Relations during their foundation and in the often crucial following years in the form of consulting, licensing of ETH technologies and networking. A comprehensive analysis by the University of St.Gallen in 2020 showed that ETH spin-offs perform better, create more jobs and are also acquired more often than the average Swiss start-up.
