The most promising Swiss Proptech startups and scale-ups of 2024, 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 TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award. Last year, the Proptech sector had 3 representative startups in the TOP 100 Swiss startup ranking (including 1 in the scale-up ranking). We have also talked with Urs Baumann, CIO of Swiss Prime Site, about the sector insights. Learn more about how these Proptech companies are shaping the landscape of digital security in real estate.

The annual ranking of the TOP 100 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 TOP 100 Swiss Startup Ranking.

The construction and operation of properties in Switzerland are responsible for around a quarter of CO2 emissions. Reducing this proportion is one of the major challenges. A company like Viboo is on the right track with its AI-based thermostats. However, industry expert Urs Baumann, CIO of Swiss Prime Site, sees even more potential for CO2 savings on construction sites: „The industry needs to significantly reduce emissions during construction and dismantling.“ Above all with a higher recycling rate. If building materials then become CO2 sinks, all the better. Neustark has developed a process that allows CO2 to be stored in demolition granulate, which is then processed into concrete. This is where the journey is heading, says expert Baumann: „Within the proptech sector, there is a trend away from (overly) promising digital solutions towards innovative materials or components.“
