Congratulations to our colleague Elise Gortchacow-Bretton, innovation mentor at Innovation Alliance, who has been accredited as an Innosuisse mentor! A new string to her bow that completes our expert's portfolio of support for Medtech, Biotech and Foodtech innovation projects.
With seven years' experience in medical device development at Helbling Technik in Bern and five years' project management experience at the TA-SWISS Foundation, Elise Gortchacow-Bretton joins the Alliance team in 2020 as innovation mentor for the Medtech, Biotech and Foodtech fields. From needs analysis to the identification of academic partners, she helps companies on a daily basis to set up their innovation projects with research institutions. Her expertise has led her to support no fewer than 85 projects at Alliance. Thanks to her extensive experience, she is now an accredited Innosuisse mentor. This will enable her to continue supporting Swiss companies on their innovation journey, within Alliance and Innosuisse, with new perspectives.
I'm delighted to be supporting SMEs in their innovation process as an Innosuisse mentor. This represents a great opportunity to contribute to the essential mission of supporting links between the academic and entrepreneurial fabric of Switzerland.
