Switzerland's tech ecosystem is renowned for its innovation and substantial contributions to sectors like biotech, deep tech, and life sciences.
The country has ranked first on the Global Innovation Index for 14 consecutive years, thanks to its strong research infrastructure, skilled workforce, and intellectual capital. Switzerland is quickly becoming a hub for deep tech, with significant investments in areas such as quantum computing, robotics, and biotechnology. In 2024, exports in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and life sciences totalled CHF149 billion, making up more than half of the country's total exports.
Despite a strong early-stage investment environment, Switzerland faces challenges in securing late-stage funding, which forces many startups to depend on foreign investors for scaling. Additionally, there are concerns about retaining homegrown startups, as many are acquired by larger firms or move abroad, potentially leading to a loss of innovation capacity within the country.
Looking ahead, Switzerland’s tech ecosystem is set to continue growing, driven by its solid research foundations, supportive policies, and global connectivity.
Here are 10 tech companies from Switzerland to watch in 2025.
