By leveraging such investments, these startups are overcoming economic challenges and positioning themselves as leaders in sustainable technology development, underscoring Switzerland's growing influence in the global cleantech industry.The Venture Leaders expert Jury selected the ten most promising Swiss Cleantech startups to join the Swiss National Startup Team 2024. In November, the entrepreneurs will join a business development and investor roadshow in Munich, offering prime opportunities to present their solutions, connect with industry experts and investors, and take the next step in their startups’ international growth.
“The final selection during the jury day was very difficult. All startups come with impressive solutions, early traction with top industry reference, and a global ambition,” said Jordi Montserrat, co-founder and managing partner at Venturelab. “The quality of the startups illustrates the amazing contribution that Swiss startups can bring to the table to address critical environmental challenges. We can't wait to see them soar on this journey together!”
“The Venture Leaders roadshow has proven incredibly valuable for our team. Connecting with such outstanding entrepreneurs and investors is essential for the growth of any company,” commented Nicolas Weber, CEO and Co-Founder of Voltiris and captain of the Venture Leaders Cleantech 2023.
