A new European deep tech report from Lakestar, Walden Catalyst, and Dealroom puts Switzerland at the center of Europe’s deeptech momentum. It highlights ETH Zurich as a leading source of alumni-founded deeptech start-ups since 2020, with EPFL Lausanne also ranking among Europe’s top contributors.

 

The piece points to Switzerland’s ability to turn research into real-world company value, citing strong spinout performance and a deep focus in venture capital allocation. It also flags sector strengths spanning robotics, AI, energy, space, and techbio—supported by a cross-border “Alpine Tech Cluster” that concentrates ambitious founders and investors.
