Deep Tech Nation Switzerland Foundation

Deep Tech Nation Switzerland Foundation is a private, not-for-profit initiative backed by leading companies, foundations, associations, and universities. We act as a driving force to position Switzerland as the world’s leading Deep Tech Nation. 

We work autonomously and systemically to strengthen the Swiss innovation ecosystem for the long term. Acting as a neutral catalyst, we shape the future for Switzerland, so that others can create, scale, and invest.

For institutional investors, in particular Swiss pension funds, we initiated the AWI Deep Tech Fund to provide them access to investments in Swiss Deep Tech startups and scale-ups via a dedicated investment vehicle.

In addition we provide a Venture Capital Education Program designed to equip pension fund boards and investment committees as well as their investment professionals with the specific knowledge required for this asset class.
