The Solothurner William A. De Vigier provides assistance to young Switzerland entrepreneurs that lack start up funding to realise their well positioned ideas and inventions. William De Vigier lacked the capital back in 1935, but was full of brilliant ideas that needed assistance to get off the ground. In 1987, after renowned international success, he created the De Vigier Foundation. It was formed with its aim being to provide active economic infrastructure and direct financial support for aspiring and innovative young people with dynamic business ideas who are seeking to build up a performance and growth-oriented enterprise in Switzerland.

Since its inception, the foundation has distributed over 11 million francs of start-up capital. This has resulted in more than 75 successful start-ups, a successful public stock exchange, and several successful sales. It has resulted in generating many new and valuable jobs. And next year, the foundation will turn 30! Happy birthday in advance!
