Swiss MEDTECH and Innofuse Switzerland Join Forces to Launch National Innovation Platform

Bern, Switzerland – June 25, 2025– At today’s Swiss Medtech Day in Bern, Swiss Medtech and Innofuse Switzerland officially unveiled a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating innovation across the Swiss medical technology sector. Together, they are launching the Swiss Medtech Innovation Platform - a new digital matchmaking ecosystem designed to connect innovators, catalyze partnerships, and foster legally secure collaboration within the Medtech industry.

Swiss Medtech will provide all its member companies with access to the platform. While not exclusive to the association, members will be among the first to benefit. The platform is currently in development and set to launch in October 2025.

“With the Swiss Medtech Innovation Platform, we’re creating a national engine for innovation,” said Dr. Daniel Delfosse Vice Director of Swiss Medtech. “By joining forces with Innofuse, we’re offering our members an unprecedented tool to discover collaborators - also outside the Medtech industry, across all sectors - , co-develop solutions, and stay ahead in a competitive global market.”

At the heart of the platform is a smart matchmaking algorithm that intelligently connects companies, startups, researchers, and clinical experts based on their innovation needs, technological strengths, and strategic focus areas. All collaboration is facilitated within a secure, compliant framework - ensuring both agility and peace of mind for participants.

The founding team of Innofuse Switzerland brings deep roots in Medtech entrepreneurship and innovation management. “This platform is about more than networking - it's about enabling real innovation, faster and create the missing visibility,” said Ivan Sanicola, CEO and Co-Founder of Innofuse Switzerland. “We’re proud to be building this together with Swiss Medtech and its community of pioneers.”

Swiss Medtech and Innofuse invite the broader ecosystem to contribute to shaping the platform in the coming months, ensuring it meets the evolving needs of the Swiss Medtech landscape.
