“Top 8 Recommended” promising Swiss start-ups (Bilan, Feb 2015) (link to article)

Bilan’s list of 50 start-ups is an interesting read for potential business angels and investors as well as for people interested in innovative companies in general. 50 short articles describe the start-ups, their business and their technology. The list includes very well-known young companies looking for funding for a spin-off (InSphero), companies that have already won awards or closed seed funding rounds (Glass2energy, iRewind, GreenTEG) and several newcomers (Esperare, XSensio). It’s also remarkable that the jury selected companies from very different industries. There are of course companies active in growth markets such as the internet and medtech. In addition, other industries are represented very well. A good example is cleantech. Around ten companies made it onto the list.
