Programs
A broader family of initiatives.
Around the flagship, START builds further formats and supports initiatives that strengthen practical, interdisciplinary talent development.
Our Flagship
HSG ETH Student Project House
The flagship of START Foundation. A physical home for interdisciplinary student teams building real projects — bridging ETH Zurich, the University of St. Gallen, and FH OST.
Supporting Formats
Built around the flagship.
Around the Student Project House, START develops complementary programs and events that deepen the builder ecosystem.
