Swiss start-ups at Websummit Dublin (2/2)

In 4 years, Web Summit has grown from 400 attendees to over 22,000 from more than 110 countries. This year the organisers expect 30’000 participants. More than 2000 start-ups compete for the attention of investors and potential business partners.

Daniel Baur from emonitor.ch compiled a list of all the Swiss start-ups that we are happy to share. In a blog post Daniel Baur writes: “We’ve created a list of all the Helvetian participants that took the financial risk (web summit tickets, travel, accommodation and catering sum up to quite a pocket full of money) and time, to travel way up north in search for their lucky leprechaun. So if you are from Switzerland, pay these lads a visit, swap your business cards and help the Swiss startup scene by connecting, collaborating and forming new business opportunities with startups that went “all in”. That said: See you in Dublin!”

The short descriptions of the start-ups were provided by the companies and edited if necessary. As we try to support Swiss start-ups in their struggle for attention, you will find the stand number and the exhibition day in the profiles below. In this second part of our list you will find profiles of companies active in the fields of software, enterprise, big data, fintech, hardware, medtech etc. The whole list can also be found on the website of Daniel Baur. The first part of our list can be found here.
