It can, and must, take responsibility, enable innovation, and secure the future. This book shows why private equity and venture capital are key drivers of resilience, climate neutrality, and sustainable growth in Germany.

🇨🇭 From research giant to venture champion? #Switzerland is closer than you think. A new report from Schroders Capital shows what many of us in the ecosystem have long believed: Switzerland has all the ingredients to become the Massachusetts of Europe — but it’s time to scale our venture ambitions to match our innovation pedigree. 🔍 The data is striking: ***ETH Zürich & EPFL are comparable in talent density to Massachusetts Institute of Technology & Harvard Business School (~38,400 vs. ~36,500 students) ***Yet Massachusetts generates 8x more venture investment and 6x more unicorns ***Why? Local capital. In MA, 85% of large rounds include local VCs. In Switzerland? Just 40% ***And for every CHF 1 invested by a Swiss VC, CHF 3 in foreign capital follows. With stronger local backing, Swiss venture funding could quadruple to CHF 11B annually 💡 At redalpine, we see this not just as a data point, but as a mission. Our long-term goal is to help elevate the Swiss and European venture ecosystems to global top-tier status — with founders, investors, and institutions building lasting value at home. Let’s not settle for exporting our talent and IP — let’s scale it. 📈 The multiplier effect is real. Let’s activate it.
