Pitching to investors
In addition to partners from research and industry, investors were also invited to the RobotX Innovation Day. As part of the "Innovation Series", an entrepreneurship initiative of ETH Zurich and UBS, 16 spin-offs and start-ups from ETH Zurich were able to present their developments to investors in two-minute pitches. At the concluding drinks reception there was an opportunity to get to know each other.
Multidisciplinary research and training platform
The RobotX Innovation Day is part of the ETH+ RobotX initiative launched in 2019, which aims to position ETH and Switzerland at the forefront of robotics research institutions worldwide. The multidisciplinary initiative of the departments MAVT, ITET, INFK, USYS, MATL, ARCH, BAUG and HEST resulted in the Centre for Robotics. This aims to develop ETH's strong competences in robotics into a joint research and education platform. In addition to events for exchange with industry, the Center for Robotics also initiates outreach programmes aimed at participants outside the ETH Domain.
