Swiss venture capital financing remained at the low level of the previous year in the first half of 2024, with CHF 1,082.4 million going to 138 financing rounds. Nevertheless, there were also positive signs, such as an increase in investment in the biotech sector. This half-year update to Swiss Venture Capital Report, published by the online news portal startupticker.ch and the investor association SECA in cooperation with startup.ch, shows that investors are more confident than a year ago.
