Zurich AI Startup viboo Receives Another Investment Boost from Belgium
1. January 2026

The Zurich-based PropTech company viboo, a spin-off from Empa, has secured additional capital from the Belgian Rise PropTech Fund. This investment follows the funding round of CHF 3.3 million announced in October 2025 (as previously reported).

At that time, Realyze Ventures, Zürcher Kantonalbank, and existing investors HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds and Swisscom Ventures participated in the round.

Rise PropTech is a European fund specializing in PropTech and ConTech startups. The Belgium-based team brings deep industry expertise and supports startups not only with capital, but also with scaling and building relevant connections within the real estate industry.

viboo is addressing one of the key bottlenecks in the heating transition: the existing building stock. By retrofitting smart thermostats, room sensors, and connectivity via targeted IoT upgrades—including the integration of existing systems—viboo makes heating systems digitally controllable without the need to (re-)install an expensive building management system (BMS).

The additional investment from Rise PropTech is intended to further strengthen viboo’s expansion strategy. The startup is on an international growth path, with a particular focus on the German market. With this strategic and financial support, the company aims to accelerate its scaling even further.
