Driving disruptive innovation from research to market impact.
Elevating brain health through strategic partnerships
By connecting academia, hospitals, and industry, we cultivate a dynamic ecosystem where innovation thrives. Tackling the most pressing challenges in neurological and mental health relies on building a network of scientists, clinicians, funders, investors, and philanthropists who share the same vision and recognize the transformative potential of neurotechnologies.
Our strategic partnerships are essential to ensure the success of our projects and their impact on societies.
Under the Wyss Center umbrella, experts from diverse fields unite to revolutionize neuroscience
Powering a virtuous cycle of innovations
We guide and nurture research projects through every stage of their journey, from early development to successful commercialization. We strategically plan the exit of our projects to help them become thriving startups or valuable industry partners.
Our non-profit model allows us to take greater risks than other organizations, empowering innovators to turn their vision into reality. As a philanthropic organization, we reinvest 100% of our returns in successfully exited projects, and other startups—creating a virtuous cycle of innovation, and maximizing the impact of our work.
“The Wyss Center’s support has been instrumental in transforming our vision into reality. Their expertise, resources and collaborative environment have enabled us to shape the future of neurosurgery with real-time brain visualization.”
“The Wyss Center is not just our licensing partner— they are part of our team and a strong ally. Beyond their expertise they are able to offer us strategic support, unparalleled networking opportunities and they help raise our profile in Switzerland and beyond.”
“The Wyss Center didn’t just invest in dEEGtal Insights but in our vision of transforming epilepsy and other neurological diagnosis. Their support goes far beyond funding, providing the strategic insights and network that turn promising AI technology into real-world solutions.”
