The development of the individually configurable robot needed for these applications is being supported by the Werner Siemens Foundation. What are particle accelerators and how do they help create new products? We are used to thinking of particle accelerators as pure research instruments. There are however over 30'000 of them in the world and they are widely used by different industries, from med-tech and computer industry to food and security industries. Accelerator and related technologies are in the origin of many innovations. A digital copy of the world Nomoko AG is developing the platform that will contribute to the creation of an entirely new market for products built on real-world-based 3D data. The core of the platform is built on Nomoko’s technology that will enable them to create accurate, ultra-realistic 3D models of the cities we live in – also called the “digital twin of the world”. Robotics: Innovation and R&D in Switzerland Forbes recently called Switzerland “the Silicon Valley of Robotics” and said the country has “emerged as a serious competitor to California for the technologies, people and funding that will power the world’s fourth socio-economic revolution”. Find out why. Drug Discovery Made in Switzerland Drug discovery has come a long way from guess work to a structural and targeted approach to finding new and better remedies. To develop new drugs, companies need to stay up to date about the latest discoveries in genomics, proteomics, structural or quantitative biology. PROTON THERAPY This breakthrough technology for deep-seated tumor irradiation has become one of the leading forms of tumor and cancer treatment around the world. With proton therapy, tumor tissues are destroyed using protons. CYBATHLON In 2016, the first ever Olympic-style competition for disabled people using robotics-based assistive technologies took place in Zurich: Cybathlon. SOLAR IMPULSE AND ATLANTIKSOLAR At least two Swiss teams hold solar world records: Solar Impulse and AtlantikSolar. In 2016, Solar Impulse completed the first ever around-the-world flight in a purely solar-powered airplane. EPFL and Empa were key partners. AtlantikSolar, developed at ETH Zurich, holds the world record for the longest fully solar-powered flight ever (81 hours) of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Virtual Reality Specto VR Medical Application of Virtual and Augmented Reality Tools. With the Virtual Reality tool SpectoVR, doctors can interact in a three-dimensional space with the patient data prior to surgery. The MIRACLE Project MIRACLE, short for Minimally Invasive Robot-Assisted Computer-guided LaserosteotomE, aims to develop a robotic endoscope to perform contact-free bone surgery with laser light. Electron Diffraction for Drug Discovery Modern pharmaceutical development is tailored to the chemical and physical characteristics of active organic compounds. Obtaining a polymorph portfolio of a compound is a demanding process. With its advantages, electron diffraction represents one of the most promising fields of research for unlocking new possibilities in structure-based drug discovery. A new method for cheaper solar-energy storage Storing solar energy as hydrogen is a promising way for developing comprehensive renewable energy systems. Building on a unique idea, EPFL scientists have now developed a simple, unconventional method to fabricate high-quality, efficient solar panels for direct solar hydrogen production with low cost. Unprecedented level of detection The results of the research and development activities in chemical, pharmaceutical and many other areas often depend on the correctly identified structure of the analyzed sample. X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) is considered the gold standard method for identifying and quantifying crystalline solid forms and provides the industry with crucial data. Disabled people pilot a robot remotely with their thoughts Using a telepresence system developed at EPFL, 19 people – including nine quadriplegics – were able to remotely control a robot located in one of the university laboratories. This multi-year research project aims to give a measure of independence to paralyzed people. Each of the 9 subjects with disabilities managed to remotely control the robot with ease. Innovative Cancer Immunotherapy IPS Biopharma is a biotech company developing a proprietary drug for use in the innovative cancer immunotherapy inCVAX for the treatment of solid metastatic tumors. More Who we are Switzerland Innovation, the Swiss innovation park, is facilitating collaborations for companies, startups, and universities to find solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Together with its partners, Switzerland Innovation forms an ecosystem accelerating the transformation of research results into marketable products and services. Contact Andreas Gerber Head of SME Business Switzerland, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG Switzerland is a globally interconnected platform with sophisticated skills, legal certainty and access to customized financing opportunities for international companies. For the future it is key to show effective economic policy and regulation, and to invest in new technologies and education to remain unique and internationally competitive. Patrick Warnking Country Director Google Switzerland Quality in terms of training, research and innovation is a key factor behind the success of our investments in Switzerland – alongside local partnerships with players from academia, business, politics and society in the field of digital education and beyond. It provides a solid foundation that has seen Google Switzerland become the company’s largest R&D site outside the USA. Monika Rühl Chairwoman of the Executive Board at economiesuisse The success of Switzerland as a center for production and thinking depends essentially on the quality of the collaboration between universities and the private sector. The innovation parks fill an important gap in this respect. They combine different research competencies in one location, create synergies and strengthen the innovative power of the Swiss economy. Roger Wüthrich-Hasenböhler Chief Digital Officer of Swisscom Group Switzerland offers an excellent ecosystem for fostering innovation. The key pillars are the high level of education, significant investments in research and the strong infrastructure. But the open mindset and cooperation between companies provide the needed boost for innovation to thrive. Theresa Visarius Managing Director IPS Biopharma AG The Switzerland Innovation Park Biel/Bienne provides an ideal environment for startups by offering an infrastructure and network so important to young companies. Their highly skilled staff take a personal interest and promote swiss innovation as they strive to meet the individual needs of each company. Dr. René Buholzer CEO and Delegate of the Board of Interpharma Innovation is the result of creative, intelligent people; however, even the best people cannot be innovative enough without the right environment. Switzerland offers excellent conditions for everyone looking to innovate: a stable, democratic system with legal certainty, respect for intellectual property, and an excellent education system.
