By francescopagano74

Given the relevance of the intersection between health and tech, we decided to speak to Enrico Perfler, Founder at 1 MED, a company born in 2014 and based in Switzerland. Perfler is a serial entrepreneur and a former university professor, who decided to create a different Contract Research Organization (CRO), with a focus on medical devices and now pharmaceuticals. “Our approach wants to be proactive, and it is based on deep tech and a world-class knowledge of global regulations, across the EU and the US. We are a SME, with 150 employees, double digit growth in yearly revenues and we are focused on innovation for big pharma and health-tech scaleups,” says Perfler. The goal of 1 MED is to make pharma supply chains more efficient.
