Created to cultivate a thriving economy and society, Innosuisse promotes science-based innovation by fostering collaboration between academic researchers and business leaders. The successor to CTI, Switzerland’s funding agency for research and innovation founded in 1996, Innosuisse has continued to support innovative start-ups through networking and project innovation since 2018.
As part of their proactive approach, Innosuisse runs several coaching programmes designed specifically to support the diversity and success of start-ups – from shorter ‘Initial Coaching’ that optimises business models to longer-term ‘Scale-up Coaching’ that focuses on growth strategies.
In order to join Innosuisse, coaches must not only have experience as a founder and leader in business – spearheading innovative projects from conception through to commercialisation – but showcase in-depth knowledge in areas such as product development, marketing and sales, and management.
Additional requirements include access to a strong network of investors and business partners in Switzerland and abroad, as well as an open, collaborative and proactive personality.
As an accredited special coach, Youri will be using his expert knowledge in brand strategy and design in the technology, fintech and life science sectors to guide and advise growing start-ups on their own business journey.
