Wyss Zurich welcomes eight new members in the Evaluation Board and an Entrepreneurs in Residence group implemented

The beginning of 2023 has seen the Wyss Zurich Evaluation Board expand to eleven members and announces a newly created group of Entrepreneurs in Residence

The new year at Wyss Zurich is kicking off with the addition of eight new highly motivated independent experts in the Evaluation Board within the Wyss Zurich Foundation. Coming from start-ups, industry, and academia outside of ETH or UZH, the Evaluation Board members are experts in regenerative medicine, robotics, or the corresponding financial sectors. They will apply their knowledge and experience to evaluate projects based on commercial potential, medical and/or technological need, and the entrepreneurial team composition. Furthermore, a newly-created team of Entrepreneurs in Residence will coach and support the Wyss Zurich project teams on strategic and operational business topics, providing tailor-made support to accelerate translation from science to market.

A warm welcome to all new members and a great start to 2023 to all the new and returning members
