To strengthen these activities, DIC plans to establish a startup investment management subsidiary in Zurich, Switzerland, in spring 2026. Recognized as one of Europe’s leading deep-tech innovation hubs, Zurich offers a highly developed ecosystem of startups, universities and industrial partners specializing in AI, robotics and advanced materials. Having a presence in the same city as Emerald will enable DIC to accelerate deal sourcing, gather local market intelligence and collaborate more closely on joint initiatives.
