Artifeel joins Tech4Trust, the leading Swiss accelerator dedicated to digital trust and cybersecurity, as part of the international Season 7 cohort unveiled in Geneva during Trust Valley Day 2025
Artifeel among the 29 selected international startups
On December 2nd, during Trust Valley Day 2025 at the Geneva International Conference Centre, the new Tech4Trust cohort was officially announced by Raphaël Conz, Managing Director of the Department for Economic Promotion and Innovation (State of Vaud), on behalf of Trust Valley, the Lake Geneva–area center of excellence for digital trust and cybersecurity, in front of an audience of public, industrial, academic and investor decision-makers.
Artifeel is one of 29 international startups selected from 128 applications, spanning 9 countries and a broad spectrum of breakthrough technologies. This selection recognizes the relevance of our approach: securing and monitoring physical infrastructures thanks to autonomous embedded AI, even without Wi‑Fi or electricity. It also builds on the momentum already created with other specialized ecosystem partners, such as Village by CA Brie Picardie since September.
Tech4Trust and Trust Valley: a hub for digital trust
Tech4Trust is the acceleration program of Trust Valley, a public–private initiative based between Geneva and the canton of Vaud that brings together cantons, large corporations, academic institutions and international organizations to build an “economy of trust”. The program targets Swiss and international startups innovating in cybersecurity, AI, blockchain, data protection and critical infrastructure security, with market-ready products. In Season 7, the cohort brings together future‑oriented solutions “tackling everything from advanced AI, compliance, encryption, and blockchain to data privacy, biometrics and quantum security“.
On this occasion, Lennig Pedron, CEO of Trust Valley, underlines that:
“The acceleration of AI, cybersecurity, compliance and quantum-safe technologies shows that digital trust is becoming the backbone of global innovation.”

An ideal exchange platform for Artifeel
Over eight months, Tech4Trust offers an intensive journey combining workshops, coaching, mentoring, visibility events and targeted meetings with key accounts, technology partners and specialized investors.
For Artifeel, it is a unique opportunity to connect directly with those who are building the next generation of critical infrastructures, smart cities and digital services, and to deploy Check’in at the heart of concrete projects in Europe and beyond. Initial meetings with investors, technology partners and decision‑makers during Trust Valley Day 2025 on December 2nd in Geneva have already confirmed the strength and relevance of this ecosystem.
This new foothold in the Swiss and international ecosystem complements the momentum built in France with Village by CA, strengthening bridges between innovation ecosystems and accelerating our roadmap: making infrastructures safer, more autonomous and more resilient through embedded AI.
