A swisstech, a Swiss innovation dissemination initiative supported by Swissnex and other institutions in Switzerland’s innovation ecosystem, will be present at Web Summit Rio, taking place from April 27 to 30. With its own booth (#E423 in pavilion 4), swisstech will showcase various solutions developed by Swiss startups. Among the cutting-edge technologies, highlights include the software sector, represented by Veezoo, created by two Brazilians, which offers an AI application platform for business data analysis, and Nym Technologies, developer of blockchain-based digital security and privacy technologies.
Switzerland leads the ranking of the world’s most innovative countries, having been champion for the 14th consecutive time in 2024, according to the Global Innovation Index developed by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Swissnex in Brazil strengthens bilateral exchanges to connect entrepreneurs from both countries, foster new partnerships, and assist the entry of products and solutions into the Brazilian market.
One of the cases to be presented at Web Summit Rio is that of Veezoo, que which developed a business intelligence (business intelligence) platform based on generative artificial intelligence. The solution allows users without technical knowledge to analyze corporate data quickly and intuitively through a conversational interface. The solution uses the client company’s internal databases without the data leaving their servers. The company has SOC 2 Type I security certification and is finalizing SOC 2 Type II certification, both globally recognized as standards of excellence in data security and privacy.
Founded by two Brazilian brothers and a Swiss co-founder, Veezoo has thousands of active users and operates in countries such as Switzerland, Germany, the USA, Brazil, and India. In Brazil, Veezoo has ongoing business with Bayer, Caixa Consórcios, Santa Lolla, and Algar Telecom. The company shows great interest in the Brazilian market due to the high demand for intuitive data analysis solutions. For Marcos Monteiro, CEO and co-founder of Veezoo, the idea is to democratize access to corporate data, enabling valuable insights that do not depend on high technical qualifications.
– Our mission is to facilitate the analysis of large volumes of internal data with a friendly interface; the name Veezoo comes from presenting information more visually. Brazil has great market potential and growing demand for business intelligence solutions; it’s a strategic focus for us, in addition to the pleasure of bringing our innovation to our country.
Meanwhile, NYM Technologies is a startup focused on digital security and privacy. The company built a solution based on the Cosmos blockchain, focusing on privacy. The solution has three components: NYM Mixnet, a network that anonymizes users’ online activities by routing data packets through a series of mixnodes; NYM Token, a utility token used to decentralize the mixnet by rewarding nodes for network usage; and NYM Credentials, which allow users to partially or fully reveal data as needed for app authentication. The flagship product, Nym VPN, was launched in May 2025 and already has over a thousand clients within weeks of its debut. Currently, there are over 500 operational nodes in the network.
Nym VPN is fundamentally different from most VPNs on the market because it can provide genuine anonymity for users. While most VPNs are centralized and vulnerable to network surveillance and data leaks, this one is built on a decentralized, zero-knowledge network operated by independent nodes. Nym has no control over the servers, which are globally distributed and managed by a global community of privacy-focused activists. For Daniel Vazquez, LATAM Growth Director at NYM, in an increasingly connected world, data privacy is essential:
– Our technology provides a layer of anonymity for online activities, protecting users from surveillance and ensuring greater security in their digital interactions. We see Brazil as an important market for spreading solutions focused on online privacy.
Swisstech’s participation in Web Summit Rio 2025, through Swissnex, aims not only to showcase Swiss technological excellence but also to strengthen collaboration with Brazil in seeking solutions for a more innovative and collaborative future. In addition to Veezoo and NYM, Swissnex also presents Treeles, Kido Dynamics, Assaia, Herby, RTDT, Solar TRITEC, and BEEKEE.
