Questions and answers

The accelerator is targeted at early-stage tech startups in the field of logistics and supply chain. Your startup should be no more than two years old or about to be founded—a functional prototype is a prerequisite. You should also have a connection to the Basel region (e.g., company headquarters, founders, or customers).

No. An official foundation is not a prerequisite. It is important that you already have a functioning prototype or proof of concept.

We are looking for innovative solutions for the logistics and supply chain industry, e.g. in the areas of:

  • Internet of Things (IoT) & Real-Time Tracking

  • Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

  • Data Analytics & Business Intelligence

  • Robotics & Automation

  • Blockchain & Distributed Ledger

  • Cloud & Enterprise Systems (ERP, TMS, WMS)

  • Digital Twins, RPA, GIS, Cybersecurity and more

  • Access to customers, partners and investors in the Basel region

  • Individual support (legal, regulatory, technical, strategic) valued at CHF 10,000

  • Peer support within the innovation ecosystem

  • A pitch on the main stage at the be-digital Basel Forum

  • No equity surrender, no hidden costs

  • Application phase: until 30.11.2025

  • Startup selection: December 4, 2025 (4 projects will be selected)

  • Onboarding & initial coaching: December 2025

  • Launch Event & Matchmaking: January 2026

  • Acceleration Phase: January – April 2026

  • Final pitch & winner selection: April 22, 2026 at the be-digital basel Forum

  • Suitable for the focus area Logistics & Supply Chain

It’s simple: Get in touch with us. Together, we’ll explore whether collaboration as a domain partner (with a thematic focus) or technology partner is appropriate, then discuss next steps for your involvement in the program.

Partnerships are interesting, for example, for:

  • Logistics companies (transport, warehousing, infrastructure, shipping)

  • Companies with complex supply chains (e.g. pharmaceuticals, retail, consumer goods)

  • Technology providers who want to work with startups and promote innovation

  • Direct access to innovative startups and technologies

  • The opportunity to actively shape the program’s thematic focus

  • Visibility in all the Accelerator’s communications

  • Participation in events, jury sessions and direct interaction with founders
