Launching a start-up? Fri Up supports you free of charge, with tailored help

Is your project particularly innovative? Does it meet a new need or offer a novel approach to an existing market? Fri Up's start-up support programme may be right for you.

Is your project a start-up?

Three questions help determine this:

  • Is my project particularly innovative, does it meet a new need or offer a novel approach to an existing market?
  • Has my company existed for less than 3 years?
  • Am I prepared to question myself and rethink my approach if necessary?

If you answer yes to these questions, your project matches the profile sought by Fri Up's start-up support programme.

Free, tailored support

Subject to approval by its committee, Fri Up offers a free, tailored support programme lasting several months, from the very first stages of your project through to your market launch.

Beyond advice, Fri Up gives access to the infrastructure, laboratories, competence centres and financing structures you may need to launch your start-up. The whole Fribourg innovation ecosystem is mobilised for your project.
