How can we improve the Swiss capital market ecosystem for growth companies?
Switzerland has a world-class innovation ecosystem, yet Swiss investors provided just 13% of later-stage capital for Swiss scale-ups in 2025 – and only 27% of surveyed scale-ups would consider a domestic IPO.*
How can we strengthen the Swiss capital market ecosystem and make the local stock market a realistic option for more growth companies, supporting them in scaling independently and for the long term?
Join us for an open, honest and constructive discussion bringing together companies, investors, SIX Swiss Exchange, capital markets experts and the wider ecosystem.
The event is run according to Chatham House rules and is kindly hosted by UBS
