A Maturity Assessment for Swiss Start-ups in the Scaling Phase

Abstract

The Swiss start-up ecosystem is known for its innovative environment and strong support systems, yet 50% of Swiss start-ups fail during the scaling phase. Their complex challenges necessitate a comprehensive understanding of both the ecosystem and existing tools like the ABILI-platform, which assists companies in their digital transformation and strategy formulation. This study aims to develop a maturity assessment tailored to Swiss start-ups in the scaling phase. Based on the existing ABILI-platform, the assessment seeks to identify and categorize these start-ups' challenges and provide a structured approach to overcoming them, thereby enhancing their chances of success.
