Globally Unique Focus on Deep Tech

The first Swiss Deep Tech Report presents data-driven evidence of the advantages that make Switzerland a global deep tech hotspot. It also provides an in-depth overview of the most successful and promising start-ups in nine verticals.

The Swiss Deep Tech Report 2025, a Deep Tech Nation Switzerland initiative, offers a comprehensive new dataset and analysis on the Swiss Deep Tech ecosystem. It was curated in close collaboration with Dealroom.co, Startupticker and venture capital firms Founderful and Kickfund. The report is the first of its kind to map the full scope of Switzerland’s Deep Tech performance – from research institutions and patents to venture activity and late-stage outcomes.

The report shows that the Swiss start-up ecosystem has a unique focus on deep tech companies: From 2019 to 2025, Switzerland allocated 60% of its total venture capital into Deep Tech – more than any other country globally. Over the same period, Switzerland ranked first in Europe and third worldwide for Deep Tech VC funding per capita, backed by both a strong domestic research base and increasing levels of international capital.

The report examines Swiss deep tech startups in nine verticals: AI, technical enterprise software, aerial & space, semiconductor & quantum, techbio, medtech, biotech and climate tech & energy. Successful and promising companies are listed for each of these verticals. The publication thus not only provides evidence of Switzerland’s strength, but also offers unique insight into the landscape of companies.
