Innovate UK's #GBIPSwitzerland market visit took place last week. It was a packed agenda, with the UK companies being hosted by innovative and prestigious Swiss organisations from academia and industry, to learn and to explore partnerships to support the development of AI applications in the Construction sector. ⚒️ Next stage - exploitation! The UK companies will maximise the opportunities identified during the market visit, with support from Innovate UK's Business Growth team. 📈
This has been an incredibly fruitful and productive Innovate UK Global Business Innovation Programme (GBIP) to Switzerland on AI in Construction. Over the last 5 days, we have visited and heard from top-tier academic research groups at world-leading universities and research centres, including Institute of Technology in Architecture, ETH Zurich, Design++, ETH Zurich, Block Research Group, ETH Zurich, Gramazio Kohler Research, NCCR Digital Fabrication, Empa, University of St.Gallen and OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences. Switzerland Innovation Park Ost welcomed us to their office in St Gallen for great knowledge sharing and pitching sessions. We had the unique opportunity to pitch to some of the largest and most innovative corporates in the world, such as Holcim MAQER Ventures, Hilti Group and Halter Group - where we were joined by Innovation Zurich. We were welcomed by the The British-Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Zurich where we held a networking reception, co-organised by the British Embassy in Berne and attended by Innosuisse. The delegates also made key connections and gathered pivotal insights at the AI+X Summit organised by the ETH AI Center, University of Zurich. I personally really enjoyed leading this programme and be surrounded by such talented and dedicated entrepreneurs. A big thank you to all of them: - Gilles Retsin at Automated Architecture (AUAR), - Marcus Morley-Jones at Cotswold Hempstone Ltd - HEMSPAN Ltd, - Duncan Robertson at Ecolens, - Peter Harman at Infinitive (formerly CAE Tech), - Michael Rustell at Inframatic, - Will Campion at Offgrid.Works, - paul caruana at Safety Shield, - Andrei Petric at SiteAssist, - Jakob Zeitler at Matterhorn Studio, - Sarah Crawley at Symterra, - Abhishek Srivastava at Teknobuilt. Thank you to all of the stakeholders and team members who made this visit possible. We are looking forward to seeing some great impact in the aftermath of it - some have already happened!

Can we look to quantum technologies for improved and more efficient healthcare? 🔬 Imagine a world where medical diagnostics are faster, more accurate, and less invasive. A world where drug discovery is streamlined, and healthcare environments are optimised for efficiency. This can be made a reality with the help from quantum technologies. Quantum sensing can enhance medical imaging, enabling early disease detection, precise brain mapping, and real-time monitoring of biomarkers. 🧪 Quantum computing can accelerate drug discovery by simulating complex molecular interactions, leading to more effective treatments. 💊 Quantum communication ensures the secure transmission and storage of sensitive patient data, safeguarding privacy. ⚡ The Quantum for Life report showcases trailblazing UK companies and researchers already harnessing quantum technologies for applications like breast cancer detection, epilepsy monitoring, and hospital optimisation.
