Cleantech startups significantly contribute to fighting climate change with innovative and sustainable solutions that range from CO2 capture to vertical farming. Discover 10 up-and-coming Swiss cleantech startups to watch in 2020.

The cleantech investment landscape has changed substantially in the last few years, placing a greater emphasis on powerful software and sensor platforms and tools built for domestic use. Many of the latest greentech entrepreneurs are developing environmentally friendly technologies in energy, big data, home automation, and the internet of things. 

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, investments in technologies that fight climate change have not stopped: The Swiss cleantech company Climeworks has recently announced a CHF 73 million financing round from private investors, the largest ever private investment into direct air capture. In Switzerland, the cleantech startup ecosystem is flourishing, and talented entrepreneurs and scientists are paving the new way toward more sustainable living.
