Update TOP 100 Public Voting 2025: Tethys Robotics, Avientus, and Flink Robotics lead the Robotics field

The voting process is going on, marking the weekly update of the TOP 100 Public Voting 2025. Our focus this week is on Robotics, where Tethys Robotics, Avientus, and Flink Robotics are currently in the lead. However, it's important to remember that the TOP 100 Public Voting 2025 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 20, 2025.

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 3, 2025.

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's focus is Robotics, where a tight race is underway between Tethys Robotics, Avientus, and Flink Robotic. Robotics innovators create technologies to address challenges in automation, control, and system efficiency.
