Shaping the Future of Swiss Innovation

The Top100 Swiss Startup Award is Switzerland’s most trusted benchmark for entrepreneurial excellence and innovation leadership.

Launched in 2011, the Top100 Swiss Startup Award has grown into the gold standard for startup recognition in Switzerland. Under the Top100 Startups umbrella, a vibrant and connected community has emerged—featuring 638 ranked deeptech startups that have raised CHF 13.6 billion in funding, created over 20,800 jobs, and achieved 99 exits and 10 IPOs

The platform is more than just a ranking. It serves as a launchpad that delivers visibility, access, and tangible opportunities for startups, investors, and key players in the innovation ecosystem.
