The purchase, made in partnership with the Caisse cantonale d&#8217;assurance populaire and the \u00c9tablissement cantonal d&#8217;assurance et de pr\u00e9vention, marks the start of an ambitious project: the creation of an innovation cluster specializing in medical diagnostic technologies. The 7,000-square-meter site, which will house nearly 400 jobs, will be managed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microcity.ch\/\">Microcity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an article published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/economie\/pharmas-medtech\/innovation-neuchatel-veut-s-imposer-dans-les-technologies-du-diagnostic\">Le Temps<\/a> newspaper, Microcity director Jean-Marc Brunner explained that the aim is to make Neuch\u00e2tel a key player in medical diagnostic technologies, a key area for the development of precision medicine. Thanks to its expertise in microtechnology, microelectronics and automation, as well as its strategic geographic location between the Lake Geneva region and the pharmaceutical region of Basel, Neuch\u00e2tel has many assets that will help it stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is based on an innovative strategy: instead of trying to fill a building once it has been acquired, the project partners first identified the future occupants. Two multinationals, five SMEs, two laboratories and four academic partners (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/etudier\/en\/home.html\">UniNE<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epfl.ch\/about\/campus\/neuchatel-en\/\">EPFL<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csem.ch\/en\/\">CSEM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.he-arc.ch\/en\/\">HE-Arc<\/a>) will form the nerve center of the Human Lean Diagnostics program created by Microcity. This program aims to develop diagnostic tools that meet specific industrial needs, with a solution-oriented approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automation and miniaturization of diagnostic devices will make them more accessible to smaller structures and improve the precision of treatment. For example, home monitoring devices could allow patients to be discharged from the hospital sooner, while targeted treatments for certain cancers could be administered without waiting for drug responses. Overall, these innovations aim to improve efficiency and reduce healthcare costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the canton of Neuch\u00e2tel, this project also strengthens its positioning within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.switzerland-innovation.com\/network-west\/node\/236\">Switzerland Innovation<\/a> program, attracting European companies and raising its international profile. State Councillor Alain Ribaux emphasized that these promising new companies will form the fourth pillar of the Neuch\u00e2tel economy, alongside pharmaceuticals, watchmaking and tobacco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The canton of Neuch\u00e2tel is positioning itself as a future leader in medical diagnostic technologies with the creation of a new
