The figures speak for themselves. Launched 11 years ago, the Top 100 Swiss Startup brand has become a true benchmark, even by international standards. The number of jobs created in the start-up scene alone – supported and ranked by Top 100 Swiss Startups – is equivalent to the number of jobs in a medium-sized Swiss city.
On 8 September, Venturelab held the Top 100 Startup Award for the first time in its new location, its very own Startup Space in Schlieren. It was a relaxed event in warm late summer weather, which allowed guests to network outside until late in the evening. (more…)

Starting from the protection of the “Swiss trademark on the Internet”, OFCOM has developed a common denominator for the Swiss community with the Internet extension .swiss. Numerous companies and organisations now have an Internet presence with a .swiss address, and the trend grows upwards.
The advantage when searching: when the ending .swiss stands behind a name, the searchers can be sure that the applicant has been checked by the Confederation prior to allocation. For example, is basel.com or basel.ch the official site? At www.basel.swiss the user can be sure that it is an official website.
When Swiss companies and organisations check the use of the .swiss extension just as naturally as those of .ch or .com before each new website or re-launch, then .swiss Internet extension will have made its place in digital Switzerland.
