Thanks to the industry's current strength and a continuing favorable business environment in Switzerland, it is believed that more non-Swiss companies with global operations will discover for themselves the advantages offered by Switzerland as a location for medical technology, following in the footsteps of B. Braun, Medtronic, Smith&Nephew, Stryker, Zimmer and many others.
The collaboration between businesses, public authorities and institutes should be optimized to ensure that Switzerland becomes the worlds best place to produce medical devices.
