The canton of Vaud confirms its status as a highly attractive technology hub for startups
Over the last decade, the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award has emerged as a benchmark in the Swiss startup ecosystem. The 470 companies that have successively made it into the ranking have so far created 11,500 highly qualified jobs and brought hundreds of disruptive technologies to the global market.
"The success of Vaud's startups in the TOP 100 results from an innovation ecosystem among the best ones in Europe, where talented deeptech innovators find the ideal environment to grow and succeed, as demonstrated by the 34 Vaud scale-ups including SOPHiA GENETICS and Astrocast", explains Patrick Barbey, Director of Innovaud.
