Haelixa, spun out of ETH Zurich in 2016, has developed a patented DNA-marker technology that is applied directly to raw materials and survives all subsequent processing stages, creating an immutable, on-product proof of origin. By sampling products at multiple points in the value chain, the company verifies that the original marked material is present, giving brands auditable data on provenance, environmental impact, and social compliance. Its solution is already deployed across textiles, precious metals, and gemstones, helping customers combat fraud and counterfeiting while meeting rising regulatory demands for transparency. The business reports scaled commercial adoption, seven-figure revenues, and multi-year contracts with leading fashion and textile brands. With the new capital, Haelixa plans to accelerate international expansion, grow its team, deepen collaboration with supply-chain partners, and extend its technology into anti-counterfeiting applications for luxury goods.
