SIX Swiss Exchange is home to some of the world’s biggest and most innovative publicly traded companies, spanning multiple segments - including healthcare, life-science and financials.

• Access to a broad and diversified base of Swiss and international investors
• A Liquid and stable market environment
• A fast and efficient listing process
• A strong track record combined with high service standards
• A pragmatic regulatory framework with a clear focus on market integrity and innovation

SIX Swiss Exchange – alongside Spain’s BME and Aquis – has a footprint in a number of leading European markets,  and provides issuers with access to regional and global networks of institutional (and retail) investors, many of whom are looking to grow their exposures to attractive technology assets.

A listing on SIX Swiss Exchange gives technology companies established access to the country’s vast domestic institutional investor base, including fund and wealth managers, insurance companies, family offices and HNWIs. These investors have deep experience of the technology sectors - from medtech and biotech to fintech and software. They understand long-term innovation cycles and are aligned with the growth trajectory of high-potential technology companies. This creates meaningful capital-raising potential for technology companies, particularly as Swiss investors typically maintain a structural allocation to domestic equities, including SIX Swiss Exchange–listed securities.

Through diversified capital access such as that offered by SIX Swiss Exchange, resilience can be enhanced further – providing firms with vital security during bouts of volatility.  

Switzerland’s strong macroeconomic and financial stability, reflected in its AAA sovereign credit rating, underpins a well-functioning and resilient capital market environment.

SIX Swiss Exchange benefits from a mature and well-integrated market ecosystem that supports visibility among both domestic and international investors.

For technology companies, this can contribute to improved investor understanding, broader analyst coverage and more efficient price discovery - factors that may support fair and sustainable valuations over time.

Compared to many other jurisdictions and Exchanges, SIX Swiss Exchange offers one of the shortest time-to-market regulatory IPO processes, giving  companies agility in execution and faster access to capital.

And access to the public markets is not just for the biggest companies – SMEs can go public too.

Through its SME-focused segments such as Sparks, SIX Swiss Exchange provides growth-oriented technology companies with a structured and accessible pathway to the public markets. These segments can enable earlier-stage growth companies to raise capital and build a public market track record, with the potential to transition to the main market as they scale.

SIX Swiss Exchange combines flexibility with high-calibre service enabling technology founders to retain significant influence post-IPO while raising capital and staying in the driver’s seat. Dedicated teams support companies throughout their listing journey from , tailored onboarding programs to comprehensive, post-IPO support.

Efficiency and stability are central tenets of Switzerland’s regulatory environment.

Switzerland’s regulatory bodies have created a framework that supports efficient listings while maintaining high standards of governance, transparency and investor protection. Publicly traded companies are subject to robust oversight and disclosure requirements, while investors’ rights are fully safeguarded, further underscoring Switzerland as a best-in-class listing destination.

As technology champions look to transition from the private to the public markets, SIX Swiss Exchange is emerging as the place to IPO.

This comes following the recent listing on SIX Swiss Exchange by SMG Swiss Marketplace Group, marking one of the more notable technology-related listings in Europe in recent years.
