Switzerland has quietly become a global powerhouse for deeptech innovation, and the numbers speak for themselves. ETH Zurich and EPFL rank #1 and #2 globally for alumni-founded deep tech startups, having produced 286 VC-backed ventures since 2020 — more than MIT, Stanford, and the Ivy League combined. Together, they also hold the two of the top three positions in European spinout value creation, with a combined 8 unicorns, $6.4 billion raised, and $24.2 billion in enterprise value since 2022.

Switzerland ranks in the top 3 in Europe for deeptech’s share of total VC funding at approximately 40%— yet the ecosystem remains significantly under-the-radar for US investors, presenting a compelling opportunity for early engagement.

Hosted at the Swiss Residence in Boston, this intimate reception offers a focused setting to discover what makes Switzerland such fertile ground for deeptech investment — from its world-class research institutions and R&D infrastructure to its concentration of engineering talent and track record of building category-defining companies.

You’ll also gain insight into pathways for engaging directly with Swiss startups and get a preview of the next edition of the Swiss Venture Connect Roadshow, returning in January 2027.
