About Me
I bridge Swiss Deep Tech with capital and corporate innovation.
I’m Alexandre Meldem, Head of International Promotion at Deep Tech Nation Switzerland, where I connect global capital with Swiss Deep Tech.My career has swung between operating in radioactive nuclear-waste vaults and pitching corporate investors, always with the same aim: translate deep-tech into impact, at scale.After building Flyability’s U.S. business to full-stack operation, and leading sales to eight-figure revenue, I now champion Swiss Deep Tech abroad, showing corporates and VCs why our ecosystem is the shortest route to market-moving innovation.
