Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in Lugano

Lugano is the largest city in Ticino, Switzerland's Italian-speaking canton, and the country's third-largest financial centre after Zurich and Geneva. For founders, it offers private banks, family offices and close ties to the industrial economy of northern Italy.

Why Lugano Matters for Capital Raising

Lugano has a long-established private banking and asset management sector serving Swiss, Italian and international clients, and a large community of family offices.

In 2022 the city launched Plan ₿ with Tether, an initiative to encourage bitcoin and digital asset adoption, including accepting digital currencies for some city payments.

The Università della Svizzera italiana, founded in 1996, has strengths in informatics, economics and biomedicine, and the city is home to a growing life sciences and technology community.
