The 12 most promising Swiss Medtech startups of 2025, according to investors

The 100 most innovative and promising Swiss startups are picked by a panel of 100 leading investors and industry experts and are revealed at the Top100 Swiss Startup Award. This year, Medtech has 12 representative startups in the Top100 (including 1 in the Top10). We have also talked with Top100 jury member Jacqueline Ruedin-Rüsch, founding partner of Privilège Ventures. Learn more about these Medtech companies charting the future of healthcare innovation.

The annual ranking of the Top100 Swiss Startups has become a benchmark in Switzerland’s startup ecosystem—and beyond. Every year, a panel of 100 leading investors and startup experts chooses the 100 most innovative and promising Swiss startups. Each jury member nominates 10 Swiss startups that are fewer than five years old and show the greatest commercial potential. They assign 10 points for the first place and one point for the tenth place. The companies with the most points make it into the Top100 Swiss Startup Ranking.

An issue of data protection
Aging is a timeless topic. Nevertheless, it is more relevant today than ever before, as the baby boomer generation gradually reaches retirement age. “The desire to age well and lead an active and healthy lifestyle opens up unprecedented opportunities for founders and investors,” says Jacqueline Ruedin-Rüsch, founding partner of Privilège Ventures. She believes this is one of the broadest megatrends of our time. However, many medical solutions for the ever-growing group of senior citizens are based on data.
 
Precision medicine, personalized prevention, tailored solutions and individualized approaches have great medical and economic potential. According to Ruedin-Rüsch, the key now is to work with legislators to find sensible solutions for legally compliant handling of personal data: “Time is of the essence.”
