Update TOP 100 Public Voting 2024: qCella, Floating Robotics, and BTRY lead the Engineering field

The voting process is going on, marking the weekly update of the TOP 100 Public Voting 2024. This week's focus is on Engineering, where qCella, Floating Robotics, and BTRY are currently leading the ranking. However, it's important to remember that the TOP 100 Public Voting 2024 is a marathon, not a sprint. We encourage everyone with a LinkedIn account to continue casting their votes as the competition progresses. You can select the 10 most innovative Swiss startups until July 21, 2024.

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 4, 2024.

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). We will provide updates for each vertical separately to keep up the suspense. This week we are highlighting the Engineering vertical. Discover the three Swiss Engineering solutions that have received the most TOP 100 votes so far:



1. qCella: The startup impregnates natural fibers with copper to create a unique hybrid material, from which it can fabricate heating mats that have superior properties compared to commercially available heating solutions like heating wires. 
2. Floating Robotics: The startup's first product equips a robotic manipulator with shears, cameras, and edge computers to recognize, pick, and box objects according to industry standards without touching the fruit.
3. BTRY: The Engineering startup aims to redefine the world of energy storage by developing an energy-dense solid-state battery that can be charged in one minute.

The race is still wide open, so keep spreading the word! Startups can share the link to the startup.ch voting page with friends, family, and followers and encourage everyone in the network to vote for them. Remember, every vote counts!

Even though there is no award for the most creative TOP 100 Public Voting tweet, we are impressed by your ideas! Follow the hashtag #TOP100SSU on Twitter and LinkedIn to stay up to date on the results and see the creativity of Swiss startups!
