Switzerland continues to strengthen its position as a global leader in the medical technology and equipment industry as the country benefits from a unique combination of first-class research institutions, highly specialised small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and partnerships with multinational corporations. The country’s small size has allowed for an exceptionally integrated network between research and development, making Switzerland a highly attractive location for medical technology companies. High-profile universities, such as ETH Zurich and the University of Basel, work closely with industry leaders to push the boundaries of medtech innovation. ETH Zurich, for instance, has been reinforcing its role as a medtech hub by investing in new infrastructure, additional professorships, and a dedicated medical technology project fund. This collaboration ensures that Switzerland remains at the forefront of medical technology research, development, and production. Switzerland's highly developed healthcare system also plays a key role in driving innovation. The system’s high standards and demand for advanced products stimulate the development of new medical technologies, providing opportunities for manufacturers to develop solutions that meet the needs of both domestic and international markets. The Swiss medical technology sector also benefits from an exceptional pool of talent. For several years, Switzerland has ranked first in INSEAD’s Global Talent Competitiveness Index, largely due to its excellent working conditions and high quality of life. These factors attract top international talent, while local universities consistently produce highly educated professionals ready to contribute to the industry. Major international companies, such as Roche and Novartis, work closely with Swiss universities to recruit from this talent pool, further fueling the sector’s growth. Another key feature of Switzerland’s medtech landscape is the high level of cooperation between companies and research institutions. More than 90% of Swiss medical equipment manufacturers collaborate with universities, hospitals, or related sectors such as mechanical engineering and pharmaceuticals.
