New week, new TOP 100 Public Voting update: We take a closer look at the robotics sector, where Voliro, Flybotix, and Dufour Aerospace are perfectly positioned to fly off with an award on September 8. We have about one month left until all votes must be in, so there is still enough time for a maneuver or two to take over the top spot. Make sure you share your startup.ch voting page with everyone you know so that they can vote for you before July 18, 2021. Everyone with a LinkedIn account has one vote to choose the 10 most innovative Swiss startups.

Every year, the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award showcases the 100 most innovative and promising Swiss startups chosen by a 100-strong jury of leading investors and experts. The TOP 100 Public Vote runs parallel to the expert jury ranking and highlights outstanding Swiss startups that will be celebrated on stage at the award night on September 8, 2021.

This year, we will honor one Public Voting winner for each of the 10 verticals (biotech, cleantech, engineering, fintech, foodtech, ICT, medtech, proptech, robotics, and security). To keep things interesting, we will provide updates for each vertical separately. After updating you on medtech, ICT, and cleantech, we take a closer look at the three robotics startups that are flying high: 



1. Voliro: Developing aerial robots for in-depth inspection and maintenance
2. Flybotix: Doubling flight time of professional indoor inspection drones
3. Dufour Aerospace: Building advanced electric aircraft

With four weeks left, you still have time to make sure that your startup gets to celebrate on the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award stage in September! If your startup is eligible to participate, make sure your share your startup.ch voting page with your employees, followers, and friends, and encourage everyone in your network to vote for you. 
Follow the hashtag #TOP100SSU on Twitter and LinkedIn to stay up to date on the results and see the creative ways in which Swiss startups encourage their network to vote for them!
