Conference on Future Hospitals – Swiss-Hong Kong Dialogue on Pioneering Surgical Technologies

The event will highlight Swiss startups SpireCut and Flowbone, both driving breakthroughs in surgical innovation. Flowbone, an EPFL spin-off, is advancing bone regeneration technology, while SpireCut is developing minimally invasive surgical tools. The event will also feature a recent successful collaboration in the medtech field between ETH Zurich and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) – the world’s first in vivo teleoperated magnetic endoscopy over a distance of 9,300 km, exemplifying the future of remote surgical interventions.

Our goal is to provide a dynamic platform to unite researchers, practitioners, and companies from Switzerland and Hong Kong. We also seek to foster enhanced cooperation between Swiss innovators and Hong Kong’s medical sector, focusing on the seamless integration of these innovative technologies into existing hospital frameworks. The discussions will not only spotlight technological breakthroughs but also foster meaningful dialogue on their practical applications and potential integration challenges.

Following the discussions, participants are invited to a reception, providing further opportunities for engagement and partnership within the Swiss-Hong Kong community. This event is organized by Swissnex in China and the Consulate General of Switzerland in Hong Kong in partnership with InvestHK and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks HKSTP.
