Webinar: State of Medtech in Switzerland 2026

People are no longer relying solely on traditional medical devices and healthcare systems to treat patients or manage diseases. The medtech industry is being reshaped by digitalization, AI-powered diagnostics, wearable technologies, remote monitoring, and personalized treatment platforms. These innovations are not only generating real-time, actionable data but also empowering patients to actively manage their own health. As new business models emerge — from value-based care to decentralized clinical trials — data-driven, patient-centered solutions are improving outcomes, reducing costs, and setting new global standards for healthcare delivery.

Venturelab will be hosting an exceptional happening presenting the Swiss National Medtech Team, and featuring world-class entrepreneurs as speakers in the upcoming Meet the Venture Leaders Medtech 2026 - Online Webinar:

Date: Wednesday 19. August 2026

Time: 14:00 - 15:00 CEST

Location: online

Keynote Speaker: Michael Friedrich

Michael is a Swiss serial entrepreneur and the former CEO of Distalmotion. The Lausanne-based medical device company develops Dexter, a surgical robotic platform and has raised more than 150 million from investors. Before building Distalmotion and scaling it into a major medtech firm, he successfully co-founded and exited Aïmago, a medical imaging technology startup. He will kick off the session by sharing his Top 10 Learnings as an entrepreneur, offering personal insights into his entrepreneurial journey and his experience with the Venture Leaders program.
