On the road to growth: Switzerland’s most promising scale-ups in 2022

Since startups cannot appear in the TOP 100 for more than five years after incorporation, a growth jury was asked to select the TOP 25 scale-ups. These companies, aged five up to 10 years, show the greatest potential for further growth.

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.
