Sometimes I forget to celebrate… but not this time: 🎉 A Decade of Impact with Technology Fund! 10 years ago, we embarked on a mission to drive innovation and sustainability through the Swiss Technology Fund. Today, I’m super happy to share the incredible milestones we’ve achieved together: ✅ 756 applications received, showcasing the diversity of the climate-tech sector. ✅ 184 companies supported in their scale-up phase. ✅ an estimated 8.7 million tons of CO₂e saved, contributing to a greener future. ✅ 23 successful exits, with supported companies repaying their guaranteed loans. ✅ 25 banking partners, committed to advancing sustainability and innovation. Perhaps it looks easy in hindsight – but it took a lot of discussing, defining, convincing, networking, measuring, improving and marketing to get here. None of this would have been possible without the tireless dedication of our whole team, the trust of our client and partners, and the inspiring determination of the entrepreneurs we’ve supported. Thank you! Here’s to the next 10 years of innovation, impact, and Swiss climate-tech! 🌍 👉🏼 Do you want to be our next portfolio company and receive a financing boost? Reserve the date and register now for our next webinar on 23 January 2025 at 1 pm together with our guests from UBS and portfolio company Urban Connect (link in comments). #Teamwork for #Sustainability and #Innovation Emerald Technology Ventures
