Ten years of TOP 100 Swiss Startups<\/h2>\n

Within a decade, the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award has become a reference event in the Swiss startup ecosystem. The award show brings together the most promising Swiss startup CEOs with Swiss and international investors, executives and journalists. What started with an initial publication of the ranking in 2011 has evolved into a comprehensive collection of events and activities, including an Award Night, the Investor Summit, where hand-picked TOP 100 startups can pitch to selected Swiss and international investors, regional pitch events organized together with presenting partner Credit Suisse, and the Scale-up Ranking. The Swiss startup magazine \"TOP 100\" reports on all these events and news with editorial content in German, French, English and Chinese.<\/p>\n

The 100 best startups: Enormous potential<\/h2>\n

The potential of TOP 100 nominees was illustrated by the evening's keynote - featuring the founders of Climeworks (ranked 11th in the first TOP 100 edition 10 years ago), which just closed a CHF 100 million investment round to accelerate the fight against climate change, and AMAL Therapeutics, the largest European biotech startup exit in 2019. \"Such role models show that we are well prepared and can look forward with anticipation to see how TOP 100 startups will shape the next decade,\" said Stefan Steiner, co-managing director of Venturelab and TOP 100 director. \"The quality of Swiss startups is evidenced by the fact that funding continues at a similar level as in the record year of 2019.\"<\/p>\n
