I Went Inside Swissnex - Switzerland's Secret Weapon in Silicon Valley
Jun 7, 2026
Swissnex is Switzerland's innovation outpost around the world. In San Francisco, I got a rare look inside, from the pitch night to the co-working space with a view of the Bay. I spoke to some founders, the startup coordinator, and the people running the programme about what actually changes when Swiss founders spend two weeks breathing Silicon Valley air.
