Switzerland

Introduction

With a population of 8.8 million – roughly the same as New York City – and a GDP of $800B – comparable to Taiwan -, Switzerland consistently ranks at or near the top of Europe’s benchmarks when it comes to prosperity, quality of life and innovation.

An attractive destination for VC investment, with a track record of successful startup successes – 39 unicorns were born in Switzerland – and a rich pipeline of promising gems, the Swiss tech ecosystem nonetheless remains too often overlooked.

Switzerland is home to over 4.5k+ funded startups which have consistently raised billions of dollars in VC a year.
