That’s exactly what spin-off femtoG is making possible, bringing innovative technology developed at ETH Zurich into industrial production!

From batteries and pharmaceuticals to tires, tiny particles play a crucial role in product quality and performance. Yet conventional measurement methods often rely on assumptions about their shape and size.

💡 With its innovative 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗚 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, FemtoG is changing that. By measuring the mass of individual particles directly during production, the technology enables manufacturers to detect quality issues in real time, reduce waste and make faster, more informed decisions.

The team’s vision? To bring precise particle measurement to production lines worldwide, making industrial processes more efficient, reliable and sustainable.

🩺 ETH Zurich spin-off Scanvio Medical AG AG is developing AI-assisted ultrasound technology to support clinicians in identifying signs of endometriosis. Its flagship product, Scanvio Assist™, provides real-time AI support during transvaginal ultrasound and is designed to integrate into the existing clinical workflow.

Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide – around 190 million people, according to the World Health Organization. Ultrasound can play an important role in identifying signs of endometriosis, but examination quality depends heavily on clinical expertise.

Scanvio Assist™ has received CE marking as a Class IIa medical device software under the European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745), following conformity assessment by TÜV SÜD NB2443.
The certification enables Scanvio Medical to begin bringing Scanvio Assist™ into clinical use across Europe. To the company’s knowledge, Scanvio Assist™ is the world’s first CE-marked AI-assisted ultrasound technology specifically developed to support clinicians in identifying signs of endometriosis.

🌍 With CE marking now in place, Scanvio Medical will be onboarding its first gynecologists, fertility clinics, and endometriosis centers across Europe.

👋 We’re excited to welcome our new ETH Entrepreneur in Residence Vincent Martinez!

ETH Zurich gave him his start as an entrepreneur: his PhD research and Pioneer Fellowship became Nanoleq, which he built and took through to an exit.

Now, he’s returning to the ETH ecosystem, where it all began, to support founders and researchers navigating the journey from lab to product, first customers, fundraising, scaling, and exit, while openly sharing what worked and the mistakes worth avoiding.

🤝 With 10+ years of experience in deep tech and healthcare, he’s especially passionate about helping scientists turn their innovations into companies that make healthcare more proactive and preventive.

What have our twelve Swiss founders from ETH Zürich been up to this past week? 🇨🇭🌉

The UPortunity - the ETH Zurich Start-up Accelerator founders spent the previous week at Swissnex in San Francisco in San Francisco. It included a site visit at Microsoft, workshops, VC fireside chats, toolbox sessions, and a Founder Pitch Night. Every day brought new ideas, connections, and perspectives.

At the Pitch Night, a panel discussed why some people choose to build a company instead of following a traditional career path, and what becomes possible when you start early. Seven of our founders then took the stage and pitched their startups.

A big thank you to Swissnex in San Francisco with Benjamin Leutwyler, Andrea Cross, Monica Ray Scott, Sven J.äggi and Luna Dutli for this opportunity and for hosting our founders so warmly. 🙌

This program is part of UPortunity, the ETH Start-up Accelerator, brought to life by Frank Floessel, Cornelia Walther-Egdmann and Juan Piffaretti.
Thanks UBS for enabling the program from the start!

Instead of relying on large batteries charged overnight, Winduction has developed a 𝘄𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝘆𝗿𝗲𝘀 – allowing electric buses to charge during everyday operation.

By integrating induction coils into the wheels, the system achieves an efficiency of 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟵𝟬% from the ground into the vehicle. This could enable buses to operate with smaller batteries, reduce power requirements and significantly lower acquisition and operating costs.

Winduction is currently building testing infrastructure in Winterthur, with its 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟴. 🚀
