What started as a one-evening award ceremony in 2011 has grown into a true benchmark in Switzerland, including a range of comprehensive activities that support 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 438 Swiss deeptech startups that have been featured in the ranking over the past decade. So far, these award-winning startups have created 11,100 jobs and raised CHF 6.1 billion—56 exits and three IPOs top off the achieve- ments of these innovators.

The invitation-only Award Night connects the CEOs of the most promising Swiss start- ups with Swiss and international investors, executives, and journalists and celebrates the TOP 100 Swiss Startups.

In collaboration with our partners, regional pitch and satellite events are organized throughout the year to bring startups, investors, and corporates together.

The TOP 100 Jury consists of a panel of 100 leading investors and startup experts. Each of them chooses 10 startups and allocates 10 points for first place down to one point for 10th place, resulting into the annual TOP 100.

The TOP 100 Swiss Startup Magazine covers all TOP 100 events and news with editorial content available in four languages: German, French, English, and Chinese—both in print and digitally.

The Scale-up Ranking features startups that have grown beyond five years since their incorporation and are selected by a jury of growth investors. They represent the future Swiss unicorns.

At the TOP 100 Investor Summit, hand- picked TOP 100 Startups that are looking for funding pitch to over 100 selected Swiss and international investors.
