The application process for the Starting Field Diamonds is divided into two steps. In a first step, a preliminary jury will nominate six finalists from all applications received – three in the “Development Phase” category and three in the “Idea Phase” category.
In the second step, the business model of the nominated startups is critically examined and further optimized in cooperation with experts. In addition, startups benefit from communication measures that significantly increase the visibility of their idea or product.
The application is made via the St.Galler Kantonalbank website.
