Innosuisse grant and coaching secured to accelerate clinical validation

Dexterous Endoscopes secured an Innosuisse innovation project grant and Core Coaching to run extensive preclinical trials with key opinion leaders across Europe.

Fundraising

Dexterous Endoscopes has secured the Innosuisse “Without Implementation Partner” grant together with Innosuisse Core Coaching, supporting the further development of its novel endoscope for ear, nose, and throat procedures, as well as future applications in urology and gastrointestinal interventions.

This support from Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency, represents a strong validation of the technological and entrepreneurial potential of the project, with a highly competitive selection process and a success rate of around 7%.

We received support from Alliance in this grant application process. Alliance is a Swiss innovation office that connects companies with Swiss research institutions (like EPFL), helping them scope a project, find the right academic partner and get funding for it, for example through Innosuisse.

The funding will be used to perform extensive preclinical trials with key opinion leaders across Europe, further validating the technology in real surgical settings.
