Spin-offs of Eawag
In order to promote transparency and to support the creation and growth of spin-offs in Switzerland, the institutions of the ETH Domain have developed common licensing principles for spin-offs.
If a research project leads to a business idea, Eawag supports the establishment of a spin-off company and assists young entrepreneurs professionally during the start-up phase, and without too much red tape.
