USZ Health Innovation Hub
At the heart of this collaboration is the USZ Health Innovation Hub. It helps promising ideas from research and clinical practice make their way into practical application. The goal is to make innovative technologies, new therapies, and forward-looking solutions available to patients more quickly.
The renewal of the partnership was officially announced in the presence of Dr. Jörg Müller-Ganz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Zürcher Kantonalbank, Prof. Dr. med. Brigitte Leeners, a member of the hospital’s executive board, Director of Research and Teaching at the University Hospital of Zurich, and a member of the USZ Foundation’s Board of Trustees, as well as Dr. Thomas Wellauer, Chairman of the USZ Foundation’s Board of Trustees.
By extending this partnership, Zürcher Kantonalbank is sending a strong signal in support of Zurich as a hub for innovation and the promotion of cutting-edge medical research. At the same time, this long-term support underscores the shared confidence in the power of research, entrepreneurship, and collaborative partnerships as drivers of medical progress.
