⌚ No time for the WEF in Davos! While the world’s attention was on the WEF, we were hard at work in Zurich, focusing on something even bigger for Switzerland’s innovation ecosystem! At our Deep Tech Nation offices, we just concluded our 5th Venture Hub Switzerland workshop. Reflecting on the past year, we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved already: ➡️ Enabling the first-ever comprehensive research study on Swiss Venture Capital Fund Returns, in collaboration with the University of Basel and SECA. ➡️ Supporting the design of an investment vehicle and initiating the process to select the best Venture Capital firm to manage it. ➡️ Establishing the groundwork to improve Switzerland’s startup ecosystem frameworks, paving the way for a brighter future for innovation. 📍 But this is just the beginning. In the year ahead, the stage will be set for the largest deployment of capital into Switzerland’s innovation ecosystem, empowering institutional investors to finally participate in the country’s leading deep tech companies. We’re energized by what’s ahead and look forward to turning these ambitious plans into reality together with our partners and advisors! 🫶 Dario My Michael Zuppiger, CAIA, CESGA® Philip Walker Karim Maizar Lorenzo Leoni Eva MayThomas Heimann, MSc Joëlle Gautier Gustave Angeloz Joanne Sieber Daniel Fisler Lukas Reinhardt Tobias Loster SECA - Swiss Private Equity & Corporate Finance Association Universität Basel
I am fully interested in paving the way for Swiss Deep Tech ventures to expand into LATAM. I believe there is enormous potential for collaboration and growth, and I’m excited to explore new opportunities and foster meaningful partnerships in the region. Together, we can drive innovation forward and create a thriving ecosystem that benefits both Switzerland and Latin America.

Thanks for sharing this exciting news - let us meet again on February 4th at the Startupticker Brunch where the newest (13th) edition of the Swiss Venture Capital Report will be presented.

9moMany thanks for sharing Deep Tech Nation Switzerland. Great ambition and great spirit. Together we can shape the future and capture the enormous potential of the Swiss Startup and Venture Capital ecosystem. Let us keep the momentum and make Switzerland a unique place for world class startups and investors. The goals are high however I am convinced that we can realize this much needed (and long sought) source of capital for our fast growing and innovative scale up companies. And it provides an even more attractive investment solution for institutional investors - Swiss focused, diversified, cost-efficient, with an institutional set up and governance, high quality standard of reporting. Really look forward working with you in 2025.
