04.06.2026, Startup Academy Ticino and Pax Support Entrepreneurs in Ticino in Their Search for Pension Solutions. The New Partnership Offers Startups Not Only Access to a Flexible Pension Solution but Also Personal Online Advice.


Nikas Bergaglio, Co-President of Startup Academy Ticino, knows: "In the start-up phase, many young entrepreneurs focus on product development, financing, and market entry. However, occupational pension schemes often come into play much later. Yet they are a central component of forward-thinking and sustainable business planning." Co-President Bettina Mindt adds: "Thanks to our collaboration with Pax, we can make startups aware of the importance of occupational pension schemes early on, highlight the pros and cons of different solutions, and provide them with expert advice."

The focus of the cooperation is on raising awareness and imparting knowledge. In the future, pension specialists will regularly answer the questions of young entrepreneurs in online advisory sessions. Additionally, startups can use Pax's BVG online calculator to receive transparent quotes tailored to their needs with just a few clicks. Entrepreneurs can conclude the appropriate pension solution directly online, as Pax offers the only possibility in Switzerland for a paperless conclusion of a BVG solution.

Alessandro Minelli, Account Manager Occupational Pension Schemes at Pax, explains: "Our collaboration with Startup Academy Ticino allows us to educate more young companies about the significance and possibilities in the field of occupational pensions. We are convinced that our digital solution makes it easier to enter the topic without unnecessary complexity. That is our goal: to make pensions simple."
