On the road to growth: Switzerland’s most promising scale-ups in 2023

Since startups are ineligible for inclusion in the TOP 100 for more than five years following their establishment, a panel of experts was tasked with selecting the TOP 25 scale-ups. These companies, with a track record ranging from five to 10 years, exhibit the highest potential for continued expansion.

Each year, a jury of 25 growth investors selects the TOP 100 Swiss Scale-ups. These companies are older than five but younger than 10 years and show the most significant potential to be the future Swiss unicorns.
