Visium SA, the leading AI and data partner for enterprises in highly regulated industries, today announced the successful close of its first institutional funding round. The round was co-led by Columbus Venture Partners and Concentric, with participation from a curated syndicate of unicorn founders who have built and scaled some of the most significant AI and technology companies of the last decade.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, Visium has grown from a fully bootstrapped company to 100 AI experts across Europe, delivering more than 250 AI and data solutions for global leaders in life sciences, specialty chemicals, and other highly regulated industries. Its clients include Roche, Novartis, and several top 20 pharmaceutical companies, as well as specialty chemicals leaders, including DSM-Firmenich, where Visium collaborated on a frontier AI innovation recognised at the Swiss Digital Economy Awards 2021.

Visium transforms core business functions through an AI-native approach, rethinking workflows from first principles rather than incrementally improving existing processes. This is made possible by an integrated operating model that combines a first-class strategy team, forward-deployed AI engineers and data scientists, and domain experts with deep scientific and technical backgrounds in regulated industries, enabling the company to design and deploy systems that work in real-world environments.

This approach is reinforced by a dual structure that combines consulting with a growing product portfolio. Consulting keeps Visium close to real operational challenges, while its products turn these insights into scalable solutions that deliver measurable impact, rather than one-off implementations.

With this funding, Visium is accelerating its expansion across Europe and the United States, scaling its team and product capabilities to bring its approach to a broader set of global enterprises. Visium has been recognised as one of the Financial Times’ Top 100 Fastest-Growing Companies in Europe.
