SEIF and IHZ

The seif Awards for Social Entrepreneurship represent the largest business plan competition in Switzerland and in 2016 will be held for a 6th consecutive year. The following awards with a prize of 10'000.- each will be rewarded:
- seif Award for Social Entrepreneurship
- seif Award for Prevention and Integration
- seif Award for Social Innovation
- seif Award for Entrepreneurial Innovation
A highly recognised jury evaluates the applications in a 4step process, selects the finalists and the winners. Previous winners leverage the positive impact of the awards, through media coverage, additional financial support from other sources or the acquisition of business partners. There were several award winners from the Impact Hub in the last years and seif would be happy to have strong applications from this side this year as well. Mariana Christen Jakob will present the award and the selection process and will answer open questions for the application.
