The objective of the Swiss ICT Award is to promote entrepreneurship, and the acceptance of ICT entrepreneurs and companies, in Swiss society. The winner serve as role models and motivators for the entire ICT industry.
Nanolive’s 3D Cell Explorer microscope and STEVE software have made it possible for the first time to explore a living cell in 3D without damaging it. This could rewrite all the rules in research and in the medtech, biotech and cosmetics industries. The microscope, with its revolutionary, globally unique and patented technology, works in a similar way to an MRI/CT scan for the human body and costs about 20 times less than conventional microscopes with a comparable resolution.
Nanolive is a venture leader in Life Sciences 2013 and a venture leader China 2015. It is the winner of the Swisscom Startup Challenge in 2016. The EPFL spin-off received CHF 500'000 of financial support from Swisscom after the business development trip in Silicon Valley. Nanolive was also supported by Venture Kick.
