2023 vs. 2022<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The lead over the previous year was also evident in a year-on-year comparison, as there were 4,549 new start-ups throughout Switzerland in 2023 up to the end of October. This figure corresponds to an increase of 4.46% compared to last year, in which 40731 new companies were founded by the end of October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winner gains strength<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

French-speaking Switzerland was once again the leader in October. However, in contrast to the somewhat weaker September, it gained strength this month and recorded growth of 18.79% with 1258 start-ups. Compared to the previous year, this corresponds to an increase of 9.77%, as there were 1146 new start-ups in October 2022. There were 438 new companies in the canton of Vaud and 373 companies were founded in Geneva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The month-on-month change in Ticino was also impressive, with a whopping +34.81%. There were 135 start-ups in September and the number of new companies in October was 182, although there was only a slight change of +3.41% compared to October 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong growth in Northwestern Switzerland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

908 new companies were founded in Northwestern Switzerland, outstripping the number of new companies founded in the previous month by 17.16%. The change compared to October 2022 was also positive and amounted to +13.50%. Bern had the highest number of start-ups in the region with 301, an increase of 11.07% on the previous month and 15.33% on the previous year. Basel-Landschaft stood out in this region in particular, as the number of new start-ups totalled 118, a gain of 47.50 percentage points compared to September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eastern Switzerland also scored highly with an increase of 13.91% compared to the previous month. In addition, the 516 new companies corresponded to a positive change of +9.09% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zurich back on its feet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After last month’s sharp decline, Zurich was able to recover this month and recorded a result of 797 start-ups. This corresponds to a slight increase of 4.18% compared to September and an increase of 11.00% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central Switzerland recorded 557 newly founded companies in October, exceeding the previous month’s figure by 11.18%. However, this growth was not reflected in the canton with the highest number of start-ups in the region, as Zug recorded a decrease of 2.16% on the previous month with a total of 227 new start-ups. In a comparison with October 2022, this year’s figure for October was 16.41% higher than the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outlook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As expected, there was an increase in start-ups in October, which was positive after the weaker summer months. The growth in start-ups was also reflected in the year-on-year comparison, as the change was +9.27%. This trend is expected to continue in November, as this has also been a strong month for start-ups in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
