An expert jury that includes professional investors and mobile technology experts reviewed 90 applications to choose the 10 Venture Leaders Mobile 2023. The startups provide innovative solutions that advance areas such as cybersecurity, digital health, mobile components, and more. 

The Swiss information and communications technology sector saw CHF 905 million in investments in the first three quarters of 2022, indicating the sector’s resilience in difficult market conditions.

“The 2023 edition of 4YFN and MWC promises to be an amazing iteration with more participants expected than in pre-pandemic times. With our extended presence at 4YFN, I expect it to be an amazing week for this team,” said Jordi Montserrat, managing partner at Venturelab. “The ten new members of the Swiss National Startup Team are once again of amazing quality, displaying some of the best innovation present in Switzerland with early-stage startups. We are very much looking forward to pushing these companies and their exceptional technologies onto the global stage.”

At the end of February 2023, the Venture Leaders Mobile will each get a booth at the 4YFN startup conference in the heart of the MWC in Barcelona, the world’s largest and most important event for the mobile industry. Visiting the main fair and meetings with investors, industry leaders, and potential clients in exclusive networking and pitch events will help the startups accelerate their growth. 

The fourth Venturelab Trophy—a sailing match race connecting startups and investors in a unique setting at the Royal Nautico Club of Barcelona thanks to the support of the program partner VISCHER—will kick off the roadshow.  

Venturelab has been organizing international roadshows for the Swiss National Startup Teams for 19 years. The ambitious entrepreneurs and their promising startups are introduced to top-class investors and potential customers in leading technology hubs such as Silicon Valley, Boston, New York, London, Munich, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Barcelona. Venture Leaders Mobile is organized by Venturelab with the support of Huawei, Swisscom, and VISCHER. 

“As part of the Venture Leaders, we got international exposure and the opportunity to meet potential partners, investors, and—most importantly—new customers,” said Venture Leader alumnus and Perovskia Solar CEO Anand Verma.
