Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting a small business delegation from the Club degli Investitori based in Torino, Italy✨ The delegation was given an overview of Wyss Zurich. Isabella Martini, Community Manager explained our mission, structure and how we are part of the larger #startup ecosystem in Switzerland. Representatives from our projects, MYNERVA - Greta Preatoni, Nanoflex (Nanoflex Robotics ) - Matteo De Donatis and Alice Segato and Liver4Life (Apersys AG) - Andrea Venturato, had the opportunity to introduce their innovative technologies and their progress in the #startupjourney🚀 Additionally, Joni Rakipi, from ETH Entrepreneurship, had the chance to share about the organization's role in #academia and the #startupcommunity in Zurich and Switzerland. The visit concluded with a final presentation from Cristina Rossi, CEO and Co-Founder of b-rayZ, a spin-off from the Universitätsspital Zürich. We hope that those who participated managed to foster new, lasting connections and were inspired by the depths of the unknown in #science.💡 See below for some impressions of the visit👇 #wysszurich #wysszurichprojects #innovation #deeptech #comunitybuilding #investorrelations

How do you feel when, after 15 years, you may feel your feet again? Not have to hold on to the railing when climbing the stairs? And walk straight without looking at your feet? We’re speaking diabetic neuropathy. “The loss of sensation, since there's nothing around, is really not treated,” Greta Preatoni, the CEO of MYNERVA, says on the new X-Health.show episode. “There’s nothing that the doctors can prescribe to the patients to improve the quality of life. And our mission, our vision has always been… even also my purpose in life is to help some patients by using technologies that merge science and a translational approach. So this is really what we wanted to do. And we developed this device. And then we tested it in clinical trials. And I had my aha moment the first time I saw a patient use it, I'd see her walking in a straight line without any sort of training. And for me, this was just completely astonishing.” MYNERVA is an early-stage Swiss startup, a spin-off of the ETH Zurich. They develop a pleasant, non-invasive nerve stimulation device for people with diabetic neuropathy to kill pain and walk without problems. In the form of an AI-supported sock. If you’re curious,  🧦 how does the smart sock work 🧠how do neural networks come back to live 👥👥👥 how many (millions!) of people it may save from pain go to – the link in the comments #diabetes #diabeticneuropathy #healthcareinnovation #medtech #futureofhealthcare #swissstartups #xhealth Wyss Zurich Buzzsprout

🔵⚪️Zürich is the biggest city in Switzerland, and home of ETH and UZH. ⏲ One of our favourite fun fact about Zürich is that St. Peter's Church's clock on the tower is the largest in Europe and the dial has a diameter of 8.7 metres (and this is the only baroque church in the city). Though from SEIN you will not be able to see this tower, but we will have great speakers instead during 🍻Pint of Science 🇨🇭🧠Festival 🌈Note: all Zürich presentation will be in English, and you can meet us in 4 different bars during the festival! 📍 SEIN - Zürich, Hohlstrasse 355 📆 13 May - 7.00 PM 🌳Ecological Mosaic: Navigating the Diversity of Life and Habitats ➡️ Chiara Bortoluzzi (Postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zürich): Reverse the loss: a tale narrated from the eyes of a genome ➡️ Anish Kirtane (PhD Candidate at ETH Zürich): Genetic Safari: Journey into the Wild with Environmental DNA 📆 14 May - 7.00 PM 🧠 Mind, Matter and Motion ➡️ Noemi Gozzi (PhD at ETH Zürich - NeuroEngineering Lab): Bridging Minds and Machines: AI in the field of Neuroengineering ➡️ Greta Preatoni (CEO & Co-founder at MYNERVA): Reducing Pain and Restoring touch in diabetic neuropathy through AI-driven neurostimulation 📆 15 May - 7.00 PM 👄 Language Multitude ➡️ Stephanie Wermelinger (Post-doc at University of Zurich): Hä?
