Dominique Mégret


An INSEAD MBA graduate, Dominique Mégret is a seasoned technology entrepreneur and venture capital investor. For the last 17 years, he has been building Swisscom Ventures, the leading Swiss VC fund, from scratch up to over $600m under management and advisory with a portfolio of 90 investments, including Ecorobotix. Before Swisscom, he co-founded and led as CEO the tech incubator Kick-Start Ventures in London. He has been on the board of Directors of Ecorobotix for the last two years. 


"We are very pleased to welcome Dominique as CEO, who brings a wealth of startup and scale-up experience to guide the company through its upcoming phase of expansion."


Hans-Peter Metzler, Ecorobotix Chairman of the Board


In Dominque’s influential book, ″Deeptech Nation - What Future for the Swiss Model?,″ he passionately advocates for Switzerland as a world-class cluster for R&D-led innovation. He has been supporting entrepreneurs to raise their ambition level and aim for global category leadership, especially at the intersection of AI, precision mechanics/robotics and agronomic/biology technologies, like Ecorobotix.


"As someone from a farming family who grew up with the use of phytosanitary products, the discussion about reducing chemicals and their impacts on the environment and our health is close to my heart. I am firmly committed to helping find effective technical solutions to address this issue on a large scale."
