Also, Mr. David Hug, representing Ringier Digital Ventures and Marcau Partners, said that the investments in the Startup Ecosystem in Switzerland by Venture Capitalists were CHF 4bn/Year in 2022 and were showing good growth. Zurich still leads the way in the invested amounts and Lausanne is a close second. Those two together (both cities have great technical universities) make up 2⁄3 of all the invested capital in the Swiss Startup Ecosystem. Switzerland overall remains a great breeding ground for Biotech Startups.
Then, Mr. Philippe Frey, Strategy Director at ANYbotics spoke about artificial intelligence, robotics and ANYbotics. He presented a modern type of working force, ANYmal, the autonomous mobile robot which is used for industrial inspection solution. The presentations were followed by a networking lunch.
