The first half of 2018 has brought European start-ups so much capital as\nnever before. Compared to 2017, this year 27% more funds have been raised. Compared\nto other countries, Switzerland ranks fifth. This is shown by Start-Up Barometer\nEurope 2018 from EY, which\nreviews how European start-ups are funded.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland\nRanked Fifth<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the\nfirst half of 2018 European young companies were able to raise \u20ac10.2bln. Compared to the \u20ac8.04bln in the first half of 2017, this\nrepresents a hefty increase of 27%. With 19%, also the number of funding rounds\nhas risen, albeit a little less strong. Most of the capital (\u20ac3.1bln) flew into start-ups in the United Kingdom, follows by Germany (\u20ac2.4bln), France (\u20ac2bln) and Sweden (\u20ac432m). With \u20ac415m, Switzerland lies just behind, ranking fifth. It can show how good it is especially\nwhen compared to the previous year, as the funds it has raised has almost\ntrebled from \u20ac140m to \u20ac415m. The\nnumber of Switzerland\u2019s funding rounds has grown during that time from 71 to 124.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zurich as\na Leading Swiss City Ranked Sixth or Tenth<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you cast\na glance at cities, the first three of them take podium positions in country\nrankings, as also do their capitals in city rankings: in London alone 2005 funding\nrounds have brought \u20ac2bln, followed by Berlin with \u20ac1.6bln (in 1614 rounds) and Paris with \u20ac1.4bln (in 1421\nrounds). In Zurich 47 funding rounds have brought \u20ac160m for start-ups, which, in terms of the number of funding rounds, ranks the city on the\nLimmat sixth, but, with regard to the amount of raised funds, tenth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on\nthese reassuring figures, it can be reasonably assumed that plenty of\ninvestment should be expected by both European and Swiss start-ups in the\nsecond half of 2018 too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
