Scewo AG, a pioneering Swiss technology company known for its stair-climbing electric wheelchair Scewo BRO, secured an investment led by Germany-based RSBG Ventures. The Series A extension funding will be strategically deployed to drive Scewo AG towards profitability and pave the way for the US entry.
As a testament to Scewo AG's growth, the company entered the French market in Q4 2023, generating its first revenues. Scewo AG is actively pursuing the reimbursement process in France, showcasing its commitment to making its innovative mobility solutions accessible to individuals worldwide. The Series A funding enables the Winterthur-based start-up to expand to the USA. Reaching FDA compliance is the first step on entering the biggest market for high-end electric wheelchairs.

Dr. Klaus Lesker, CEO of RSBG, Reto Zürcher, CEO of HB-Therm, and Willi Miesch, med-tech entrepreneur and Co-founder of Medartis, will contribute their expertise to guide Scewo AG through its next phase of growth.
