Venture Leaders Medtech 2021: 10 new members of the Swiss National Startup Team will represent Switzerland in Boston
The Swiss National Startup Team has 10 new members: Ten startups were selected for the first Venture Leaders program dedicated explicitly to the medtech sector. In the fall, the Venture Leaders Medtech will embark on their roadshow to Boston and Cambridge to dive into the US medtech startup ecosystem, meet international investors and industry leaders, and access industry-specific expertise and networks. Venture Leaders Medtech 2021 is organized by Venturelab and supported by EPF Lausanne, ETH Zurich, Hansjörg Wyss, Kellerhals Carrard, Paul Scherrer Institut, Swissnex Boston, University Zurich, Canton of Vaud, and Canton of Zurich.
The Venture Leaders Medtech 2021 will be the first class to graduate from the medtech program. Previously, medtech startups participated in the Venture Leaders Life Sciences program. “We are excited that medtech now has its own Venture Leaders program. Medtech has become such an important field in Switzerland, and we wanted to do justice to this development and the innovative power of the Swiss medtech industry,” said Jordi Montserrat, managing partner at Venturelab. “The Venture Leaders Medtech startups 2021 provide an impressive portfolio of high-quality solutions that have the potential to shape the global markets in regenerative medicine.”A jury of professional investors and medtech experts reviewed almost 70 applications to choose the Venture Leaders Medtech 2021: The 10 selected startups cover a range of areas that include materials innovation, smart devices, and robotics and help improve diagnostics, treatment, and well-being.
The roadshow to Boston in the fall aims to accelerate the startups’ expansion and helps them build global business networks. The 10 startups will pitch to key US investors and meet leaders and experts of the medtech industry. Boston is one of the world’s major life sciences hubs and the ideal springboard for ambitious startups on their way to global expansion.
Venturelab has been organizing international roadshows for the Swiss National Startup Teams for 16 years. The ambitious entrepreneurs and their promising startups are introduced to high-class investors and potential customers in leading technology hubs such as Silicon Valley, Boston, New York, China, Hong Kong, and Barcelona. “Venture Leaders gave us the unique opportunity to dive into the ecosystem of US startups and VCs. This is very helpful to better understand the US market and funding opportunities,” said Dr. Jannis Fischer, founder and CEO of Positrigo, a Venture Leader alumn.
Follow the entrepreneurs and the Venture Leaders Medtech roadshow from September 27 to October 2, 2021, on social media using the hashtag #VLeadersMedtech or on www.venture-leaders.ch/medtech.
