Switzerland is the home of excellent deep tech startups, and there is a unique opportunity to discover the best of them at the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award 2024. What started in 2011 has become a benchmark in Switzerland, including comprehensive activities supporting the TOP 100 Startups. A strong and networked community has come together under the umbrella brand “TOP 100 Startups,” which provides deep insights into the latest proven concepts, strengthens networks, and establishes new business relationships for and with the 553 Swiss deep tech startups that have been featured in the ranking over the past decade. So far, these award-winning startups have created 18,850 jobs and raised CHF 13.6 billion—79 exits, and 9 IPOs top off the achievements of these innovators.

The 100 most innovative and promising Swiss startups are picked by a jury of 100 leading investors and startup experts for the 14th consecutive year. The invitation-only Award Night connects the CEOs of the most promising Swiss startups with Swiss and international investors, executives, and journalists and celebrates the TOP 100 Swiss Startups.
