The start of 2026 marks a new milestone in the development of the Genolier Innovation Hub (GIH) with the arrival of a major player in the global medtech industry: United Orthopedic Corporation Switzerland. Following Accuray, GE HealthCare, and Anandic Medical Systems, this new addition confirms the Genolier Innovation Hub’s appeal as a key player in medical innovation at the heart of Health Valley.
United Orthopedic is establishing its European showroom and training center—entirely dedicated to hip and knee implants—in the heart of the GIH. This new space will welcome surgeons, hospital teams, and academic partners, and will foster the sharing of expertise around the most advanced joint replacement technologies.
With a presence in over 45 countries and having performed more than 580,000 procedures worldwide, United Orthopedic has chosen the Genolier Innovation Hub to manage its European operations and strengthen its ties with the Swiss medical and scientific ecosystem. This choice underscores Switzerland’s position as a leading Health Valley in the fields of orthopedics, medtech, and life sciences.
The official inauguration took place on January 8, 2026, in the presence of François Bopp, President, and Sophie Bopp, Head of Robotics EMEA, as well as Anna Gräbner, CEO of the GIH.
With this new location, the Genolier Innovation Hub continues its mission: to bring together key players in medical innovation on a single site to accelerate the development of solutions that benefit patients and healthcare professionals.
