This is the future Haelixa is shaping with its groundbreaking DNA-based traceability technology.

The Zurich-based deep-tech company has successfully closed a pre-series A financing round led by Verve Ventures and Zรผrcher Kantonalbank, with participation from impact-focused investor 212. The acquired funds will enable Haelixa to further scale its innovative solutions and further revolutionize supply chain transparency across industries.
Haelixaโ€™s proprietary technology embeds unique, invisible, and durable DNA markers directly onto products or raw materials โ€” whether textiles, precious metals, or other goods. These markers provide a secure, tamper-proof way to trace the journey of materials in real time, ensuring ethical sourcing, preventing counterfeiting, and supporting compliance with regulatory standards. In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and accountability, Haelixaโ€™s solutions are becoming an essential enabler for responsible business practices.
Founded as a spin-off from ETH Zรผrich, Haelixa already works with global leaders in sectors like fashion, jewelry, and agriculture, helping organizations deliver on their promises of transparency and integrity. The fresh capital injection will allow the company to deepen its collaborations and expand its technology's reach into new markets and industries.

Kellerhals Carrard had the honor of advising Haelixa on this pivotal financing round.

Companies like Haelixa epitomize the power of Swiss ingenuity in tackling some of the worldโ€™s most pressing challenges.
Warm congratulations to Gediminas Mikutis and the entire Haelixa team on this remarkable achievement. We are excited to support you in your mission to transform industries, promote ethical practices, and leave a lasting mark โ€” on a microscopic and global level.
