Every year, some 50 new cleantech start-ups are founded in Switzerland, an average of nearly one a week. This figure shows how Switzerland's cleantech sector is thriving. But many of these start-ups struggle to secure funding, with finance proving a challenge for 59% of them.
These figures and findings are taken from the recently published second edition of the Overview of Cleantech Start-ups. This exhaustive report, published by CleantechAlps, profiles the current state of play in Switzerland's cleantech ecosystem, highlighting the central role played by start-ups in the transformation into a more sustainable economy.

What is Cleantech?
Cleantech (or clean technologies) refers to technologies, products and services developed to further the sustainable use of natural resources and the production of renewable energy. Its main purpose is to reduce our consumption of resources and manage our natural systems more carefully. The new technologies have a key role to play in this. The role of the user and understanding user behaviour are also becoming increasingly important.
