Report highlights Switzerland as a ‘global leader in deep tech’ where startups are driving $100 billion in value

by

While global attention has often centered on innovation hubs such as Silicon Valley, Berlin, or Paris, today, fresh data from Dealroom.co and Startupticker in a new report spotlights how Switzerland has quietly become “one of the world’s most advanced and efficient Deep Tech ecosystems”.

The Swiss Deep Tech Report 2025, a Deep Tech Nation Switzerland initiative, offers a comprehensive new dataset and analysis on the Swiss Deep Tech ecosystem. It was curated in close collaboration with Dealroom.co, Startupticker and venture capital firms Founderful and Kickfund.

The report is the first of its kind to map the full scope of Switzerland’s Deep Tech performance – from research institutions and patents to venture activity and late-stage outcomes.

World’s tallest 3D-printed tower unveiled in Swiss Alps

by

A new architectural marvel, the Tor Alva, or “White Tower”, was inaugurated this week in the remote Swiss alpine village of Mulegns.

Standing at an impressive 30 meters (approximately 98 feet), it claims the title of the world’s tallest 3D-printed structure.

The project is a significant step in showcasing the potential of digital fabrication techniques in construction, particularly for creating load-bearing structures without the need for traditional formwork. [Read more…] about World’s tallest 3D-printed tower unveiled in Swiss Alps

Startup Built Robotics raises $15 million to develop technology to enable autonomous construction

by

A startup company called Built Robotics has raised at least $15 million to develop technology that would enable construction equipment such as bulldozers, earth diggers and excavators to operate themselves. 

Self-operating construction equipment would obviously save a significant amount of the costs associated with construction as humans would not need to be driving those vehicles any more.

It might also make the industry safer.

Speaking to USA Today, founder Noah Ready-Campbell, says: “The idea behind Built Robotics is to use automation technology make construction safer, faster and cheaper.”  [Read more…] about Startup Built Robotics raises $15 million to develop technology to enable autonomous construction
