The highlight of their journey with Kickbox was when they received the funding for their project and the moment when they held the prototype in their hands. In addition, they have gained entrepreneurial experience in different areas through their project, which also enriches them personally.

Swisscom Kickbox

Swisscom employees who have an idea can easily start and grow it with Kickbox. The physical box contains

- a starting credit of CHF 1,000
- 20% of the working time for 2 months
- a manual explaining the idea validation process and providing valuable tips

In a multi-stage process and accompanied by a coach, the idea is pushed forward, pitched in front of juries and, in the best case, approved for the next stage.
