Science-based Ventures

Science-based or technology ventures are an important part of the Swiss entrepreneurial ecosystem. ETH Zurich is one of the world's leading universities when it comes to spin-offs. This research stream revolves around the ventures and spin-offs that are affiliated with or emerge from the university.

We are mostly interested in understanding the evolution of science-based ventures within a new (and hyped) technological paradigm (e.g., Drones, Blockchain).

Below are some examples of research interests by our researchers:

- How does team formation within science-based ventures evolve?
- How do science-based ventures engage with hypes?
- What are effective ways for science-based ventures to communicate their technologies?
