For us Europeans this is quite an akward question. Of course there are startups here. And thanks to Mike Butcher and TechCrunch and his European tour we can show the world how great our startup scene actually is. As one of twelve cities on the tour, Mike came to Zurich on July 17th. As a techblogger and engineer myself and as a CenterNetworks writer, I had the great pleasure to attend, take photos and videotape the event.

One of the highlights of the evening was the 20-second pitches each startup had the opportunity to give. We have compiled together a video with all the pitches. If you have 14 minutes and want to see a variety of Swiss startups, check it out below. I've also included some photos as well - over 150 people attended. Please share your thoughts on any of the startups represented in the video.

Editor's note: Corsin Camichel covers technology and European startups on his blog, Geekness. Also, we've provided reviews of two of the startups from the event, Poken and Mixin.
