Investors are pouring more money into clean technology and biotechnology projects that are expanding in 2020 at the expense of ICT and especially fintech companies. This is the finding of Swiss Venture Capital annual report External links released on Tuesday by startupticker.ch and the SECA investor association.
Despite the sway last March, and to a lesser extent in October, funding for the year fell just 7% to CHF2.1 billion ($ 2.37 billion) in 2020. This follows a record 85.5% increase in venture capital (CHF2.3 billion) in 2019 , the level of initial financing that mostly persisted last year though many investors take back the risk in the face of Covid-19. In the first six months of 2020, the value of investment fell by a third but strengthened strongly in the second half of the year.
