ETH spin-offs receive on average more than twice as much funding as EPFL spin-offs.
The evaluation of ETH and EPFL spin-offs launched in the period 2017 to 2020 showed that 39% of ETH and…
Members of the research institutions of ETH and EPFL launched 176 spin-offs between the years 2017 and 2020. On an annual basis, ETH and EPFL launched 28 and 17 spin-offs, respectively, during the same period. Putting the latter two numbers in relation to enrolled students, full-time equivalent professors, and the number of faculties shows that on an annual basis more spin-offs are founded at EPFL in relation to students. At ETH, on the other hand, more spin-offs are founded in relation to professors and faculties.
In that sense the innovation strength measured by spin-offs at the ETH and EPFL is similar. There is one spin-off created on 767 students and 17 professors at ETH and one spin-off created on 694 students and 18
