The TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award 2022: celebrates Switzerland’s most promising startups

The 12th edition of the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award celebrated Switzerland’s best startups: Yokoy (1st), Planted Foods (2nd), and Ledgy (3rd) were the top picks of the expert jury. A selected audience of startups, investors, and key partners of the TOP 100 were present at the event, held at startup space in Schlieren. The award show was also live-streamed for a global audience. The 12th edition of the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award was organized by Venturelab and facilitated by its presenting partners Credit Suisse and Swiss Venture Club.

Born in 2011 as a ranking and event to celebrate the best Swiss startups, the “TOP 100 Swiss Startup” has grown into a benchmark in Switzerland. Today the TOP 100 offers an Investor Summit, multiple events along the year, the only startup magazine translated in five languages and the flagship evening TOP 100 Swiss startup award, often referred to as “The Swiss Oscar for startups”, which took place tonight. This ecosystem offers a unique platform connecting the most promising Swiss startup CEOs, executives, investors, and journalists to gain insights into the latest proven concepts, strengthen networks, and establish new business relationships. The 512 Swiss deeptech startups that have been featured in the TOP 100 Ranking over the past 12 years have created 16,149 jobs and raised CHF 11,1 billion. 71 exits and eight IPOs top off the achievements of these innovators.

"This year’s ranking reflects the strength of the Swiss ecosystem” says TOP 100 program director Stefan Steiner. “With a record 2.6 billion francs in venture capital already affected into startups during the first half of the year, it is in Olympic share, and we aim to continue on this track, despite the current crises affecting the global economy."
