Here we present more than fifty practical projects that demonstrate the innovative spirit of Switzerland’s cleantech companies. They show that behind the framework conditions and regulations, there is a long line-up of businesses working hard on a daily basis to come up with innovative solutions that are helping to combat climate change and work towards a zero-carbon society.

This selection is not exhaustive, but it provides a useful snapshot of Switzerland’s capacity for innovation. For every solution put forward, we also reference the Sustainable Development Goals that it is helping to meet. In most cases, these innovations are already up and running in many countries, where they are helping to resolve some of the issues faced locally. In this way, Switzerland is passing on its expertise and know-how in different areas of cleantech innovation.
