The Venture Leaders Mobile 2025 are getting ready to present their startups on an international stage. These ten innovative entrepreneurs, selected as part of the Swiss National Startup Team, will head to Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress (MWC) from March 1st to March 6th, 2025. As the largest and most influential event in the mobile industry, MWC offers an exceptional opportunity to accelerate global expansion and build connections with key industry players. The group will present their solutions at the 4YFN startup conference, a central part of the congress.

The ten startups were chosen from over 80 applicants by a jury of mobile technology specialists and investors. The selected ventures span diverse fields, including AI, sensing technologies, virtual and augmented reality, cybersecurity, underwater communication, and health and wellness innovation. Venture Leaders Mobile is organized by Venturelab and supported by Huawei, Swisscom Ventures, and VISCHER.

At the kick-off event held at the startup space in Schlieren, the entrepreneurs met as a team and introduced their innovations to a virtual audience. Natalya Lopareva, CEO of Algorized, and Gabriel Iobbi, CEO of PROVUU, were elected as team captains.

Two experts from VISCHER—Rolf Auf der Maur and Pauline Pfirter—joined the kick-off to introduce the group to key stepping stones in entrepreneurship and financial diligence. VISCHER also powers the fifth Venturelab Trophy, a sailing match race connecting startups and investors in a unique setting at the Royal Nautico Club of Barcelona.
