The Genolier Innovation Hub, a cutting-edge medical innovation center, was inaugurated

The newly inaugurated Genolier Innovation Hub, a 270,000-square-foot facility, offers companies, researchers and healthcare professionals an interdisciplinary platform to foster medical breakthroughs, backed by a CHF 100 million investment.

The Genolier Innovation Hub, a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Health Valley, has officially opened its doors, marking a milestone in Western Switzerland’s medical innovation landscape. With an ambitious CHF 100 million investment, the 170,000-square-foot hub is designed to bring together researchers, companies and healthcare professionals. This collaborative platform aims to drive advances in medical technology by bridging the gap between research, clinical treatments and product development.

The Hub aims to create an interdisciplinary environment that fosters collaboration between medical specialists, engineers and companies from different sectors. By offering tailored solutions to its tenants, including customized workspaces and research laboratories, the Genolier Innovation Hub caters to companies seeking a long-term presence in the healthcare innovation ecosystem.

Designed by architect Gabriele Rossi, the building offers more than just functionality. Its visually stunning design includes expansive public spaces, a restaurant, and an impressive 300-seat auditorium equipped with immersive digital technology. The Hub’s flexible office space accommodates a wide range of companies, from established players to emerging healthcare innovators. Offices range in size, with an estimated 50 square meters costing CHF 40,000 per year, offering a customized approach to innovation in a competitive market.

Swiss Medical Network, a key partner, has already established a presence in the hub, using cutting-edge radiotherapy technology to treat cancer patients and train medical professionals. This exemplifies the Hub’s goal of bringing together research, education and clinical practice to accelerate innovation.

The Genolier Innovation Hub draws comparisons to other innovation ecosystems, such as the Biopôle in Épalinges, which fosters collaboration among startups. However, with its focus on larger companies and its integration with the Swiss Medical Network, the hub is set to become a major player in the international medical innovation landscape. As part of Aevis Victoria, the Hub also benefits from an extensive network of over 20 hospitals across Switzerland, ensuring a steady pipeline of medical professionals and expertise to fuel its growth.
