Switzerland is a country with a vibrant medical technology (medtech) sector. As a result, Swiss companies and research institutions have been at the forefront of many innovative initiatives and inventions to counter the Covid-19 pandemic. Many Swiss companies and institutions have attracted broad media attention — from large companies such as Roche and Novartis, to academic institutions like ETHZ and EPFL, to small start-ups.
“The Big Picture” is an infographics series that highlights some of the Swiss R&D projects and initiatives that have resulted from the Covid-19 crisis.
