Hi-D Imaging AG was founded to develop and commercialize an AI-based decision-making support software for patient-specific diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases. Hi-D Imaging aims to reduce complexity of cardiac operational planning, shorten treatment planning time at heart centers, and reduce unnecessary use of medical imaging examinations. The novel technology enables physicians to perform fast, accurate, reliable and personalized pre-operational planning, to predict blood flow abnormalities and to assess risks for post-operation/surgery conditions prior to the medical device implantations.

In the large topic area of “Food”, one of the questions that concerns us is how – in view of the limited resources of our planet – we can succeed in feeding future generations in a sustainable and regenerative way. At the new “Future of Food” campus in Wädenswil, near Zurich, we are committed to a future in which sustainable, enjoyable, safe, and healthy food is accessible to everyone. “Regenerative Food for Planetary Health”. Our holistic approach “We understand food” guides our institute. We observe all developments in society, the economy, technology and nature that are relevant to food. Our teaching, research, training and services focus on “managing the making of better food and beverages” – in close cooperation with companies, institutions and authorities. The institute’s focus is thus on the application-oriented control and optimisation of manufacturing processes. The aim is to provide products and solutions that optimally satisfy people’s nutritional needs. Our mission is to create “better” foods and beverages that are enjoyable, healthy, safe, sustainable, and regenerative—from raw materials all the way to the consumer.

A robust Quality Management System (QMS) is the foundation of regulatory compliance and market readiness. We help medical device companies implement and customize eQMS solutions aligned with ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820, MDR/IVDR, and MDSAP. Our approach transforms quality from a compliance obligation into a strategic advantage.

We integrate biocompatibility (ISO 10993), usability engineering (IEC 62366), risk management (ISO 14971) into your processes. This ensures safe, effective, and user-centered devices that meet regulatory requirements and accelerate time-to-market.

AI is changing who is in demand in the market. This boot camp is designed for professionals who don’t want to wait for this change to happen, but want to shape it themselves. Over the course of 16 intensive days at Launchspace Zurich, you’ll learn about entrepreneurial thinking, agile methods, and the most important AI tools. And not just in theory, but by putting them into practice every day.
At its core is a realistic AI business simulation powered by ATLASS. As part of a team, you’ll lead a company by making real decisions, under time pressure, and with real consequences. That’s exactly where the confidence comes from that makes all the difference on the job. In addition, there are Design Thinking, Lean Startup, SCRUM, and Rapid Prototyping, as well as tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, Miro AI, Gamma, and Perplexity. All licenses are included. You don’t need any startup experience.
The programme is initiated, developed, and hosted by entrepreneurs from the tech, startup, corporate, and SME sectors in Switzerland, London, and Hong Kong. You’ll learn alongside professionals who all hold a college degree and have at least five years of professional and leadership experience. There are only 50 spots available per quarter to keep the group small and maintain a genuine dynamic.
Upon completion, students receive the xMBA certificate from the Graduate School of Applied Technology & Management, accredited by SAQ in accordance with ISO Standard 17024. Not just proof of participation, but a verified qualification that appears on your resume.
Thanks to ISA Invest, you pay CHF 7,900 instead of CHF 14,900—all-inclusive and with no hidden costs. For job seekers, full funding may even be available through a RAV or an outplacement program.
More impact. More clarity. More opportunities. We look forward to seeing you!
