Flybotix, developer of the drone-based ASIO solution for inspection and digitisation of confined spaces, has been awarded the SEF.Growth High Potential Label 2026 by SEF.Growth, the growth program of the Swiss Economic Forum.
The label recognizes young Swiss companies with a robust growth strategy and above-average growth potential. SEF.Growth experts from several industries assess each candidate’s business model and strategic direction, and only about one in four companies reviewed receives the label.
As a label holder, Flybotix gains access to:
- Growth modules from SEF.Growth partners
- The SEF.Founder Community
- The Swiss Economic Forum
- A recognized seal of quality for customers, suppliers, and investors
“Receiving the SEF.Growth High Potential Label in 2026 is recognition of how far Flybotix has come. When we first applied in 2023, it was simply too early. Missing out was tough, but it sharpened our focus. This label is a strong signal as we scale our confined-space inspection drones across energy, water, mining and industry worldwide, and it belongs to the whole Flybotix team, whose persistence turned a ‘no’ into a ‘yes’.”
Samir Bouabdallah, CEO and Co-founder, Flybotix
With the support of the SEF.Growth network, Flybotix will focus on:
- Scaling the commercial roll-out of ASIO solution worldwide
- Expanding in priority markets such as the United States
- Accelerating product development across the ASIO platform
Since its launch, more than 100 Swiss companies have received the SEF.Growth High Potential Label, and 95% of them are still active today.
The label confirms the strength of Flybotix’s growth strategy as the company scales ASIO across international markets.
