Venturelab starts 2025 internationally with the Venture Leaders Mobile kick-off
In March, the ten Venture Leaders Mobile 2025 will represent Switzerland at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona—the world's largest and most influential exhibition for the mobile industry. During their roadshow, they will pitch their solutions and meet with investors, experts, and industry leaders to expand their networks and scale globally. The founders recently introduced their startups and shared their innovations in an online pitch session.

The Venture Leaders Mobile 2025 are getting ready to present their startups on an international stage. These ten innovative entrepreneurs, selected as part of the Swiss National Startup Team, will head to Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress (MWC) from March 1st to March 6th, 2025. As the largest and most influential event in the mobile industry, MWC offers an exceptional opportunity to accelerate global expansion and build connections with key industry players. The group will present their solutions at the 4YFN startup conference, a central part of the congress.
The ten startups were chosen from over 80 applicants by a jury of mobile technology specialists and investors. The selected ventures span diverse fields, including AI, sensing technologies, virtual and augmented reality, cybersecurity, underwater communication, and health and wellness innovation. Venture Leaders Mobile is organized by Venturelab and supported by Huawei, Swisscom Ventures, and VISCHER.
At the kick-off event held at the startup space in Schlieren, the entrepreneurs met as a team and introduced their innovations to a virtual audience. Natalya Lopareva, CEO of Algorized, and Gabriel Iobbi, CEO of PROVUU, were elected as team captains.
Two experts from VISCHER—Rolf Auf der Maur and Pauline Pfirter—joined the kick-off to introduce the group to key stepping stones in entrepreneurship and financial diligence. VISCHER also powers the fifth Venturelab Trophy, a sailing match race connecting startups and investors in a unique setting at the Royal Nautico Club of Barcelona.
Venturelab has over 19 years of experience bringing Switzerland’s best entrepreneurs to the heart of the global technology hubs: Silicon Valley, Boston, China, London, Barcelona, and Munich. Companies founded by the 580 Venture Leaders alumni have created more than 12,900 jobs and raised more than CHF 8,9 billion in investment capital.
