💚 New Round: Sustainable Digitalization and Digital Sufficiency

Kick off 2025 by rethinking digital solutions for the people and the planet


 

Dear Prototype,

 

The wait is almost over! This January, the Prototype Fund returns with its next funding round, focusing on a topic we care deeply about: Sustainable Digitalization and Digital Sufficiency 🌍.

 

What’s it about?

We’re looking for open-source projects that connect technology with sustainability, helping reduce resource consumption and make digitalization work for the planet - not against it.
 

What’s in it for you?
 

  • 💡 Funding of up to CHF100k for your innovative ideas to explore sustainable digitalization and digital sufficiency.
  • 🤝 Resources, expert input and coaching, and a room for experimentation to bring your prototype to life.
  • 🌍 A chance to shape tech that works for the planet - not against it.
     

When does it start?

📅 Applications open on January 23, 2025. First details about the new round, including eligibility and timelines, are now live on our website.
 

👉 Register for our info- and networking-event happening in Bern on January 23! Bring your questions, ideas, and maybe even your friends - together, let’s make 2025 a year of impact.

We see you in January!
