The Foundation for Innovation and Technology (FIT<\/a>) has granted new financing to three start-ups in Western Switzerland, supporting innovations in renewable energy, food safety and industrial decarbonization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enerdrape<\/a>, known for its modular geothermal panels installed in underground environments, secured a CHF 400\u2019000 Tech Growth loan. The company\u2019s system captures shallow geothermal energy and residual heat from spaces such as parking garages, tunnels and basements without the need for drilling. A heat pump then transfers the recovered energy to a building\u2019s heating or cooling system. According to the company, one square meter of panels can supply thermal energy for up to 23 square meters of living space. The funding will support team expansion, market development and new digital tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bioneris<\/a> received a CHF 100\u2019000 Tech Seed loan to advance its rapid bacteria detection platform for the food industry. Its microfluidic chip, combined with Raman spectroscopy, enables automated identification of pathogenic bacteria within hours rather than days. The solution aims to reduce health risks, food waste and costs for producers. The funding will help validate the technology and continue testing targeted pathogens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divea<\/a> also obtained a CHF 100\u2019000 Tech Seed loan to industrialize its graphene-based carbon capture membranes. Designed for sectors such as cement, steel and chemicals, the filters selectively capture CO\u2082 directly from industrial exhaust streams. The support will allow Divea to move from laboratory-scale production toward continuous industrial manufacturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
