TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award 2024

This year, 15 startups from the Swiss Health Valley we ranked in the prestigious TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award 2024, including HAYA Therapeutics at #5.

 

 

The 14th ceremony of the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award took place in Lausanne and was attended by a curated audience comprising startup founders, investors, and key partners of the TOP 100. Additionally, the award ceremony was broadcast live to a worldwide viewership.

The TOP 100 Swiss Startup Ranking showcases the 100 Swiss startups with the greatest potential. A jury of one hundred startup investors and experts select the 100 startups that are not older than five years.

In 2011, Beat Schillig and Jordi Montserrat had a vision: to create a ranking that would highlight the most promising Swiss startups on an international level. Under the leadership of program director Stefan Steiner, the award has evolved into a benchmark that includes a series of comprehensive activities to support the TOP 100 Startups. Many former startups are now Swiss Unicorns, such as MindMaze and Sophia Genetics.
