SURGERY | CYBERSECURITY | INNOVATION

Francesco Costa, MD

MD | ENTREPRENEUR

 I am a medical doctor and entrepreneur passionate about hand surgery, medical cybersecurity, and healthcare information technology.

Over the years, I have helped medical professionals solve complex clinical and operational problems by designing and building tailored technological solutions. I have trained and worked in leading hospitals and Universities across Switzerland, Italy, India, the UK, and Japan, combining clinical expertise with a deep understanding of digital innovation and secure system design. I'm completing my hand surgery residency while pursuing a Master's degree in Management, Technology, and Economics (MTEC) at ETH Zurich.  I enjoy playing the piano, guitar, and experimenting with modular and semi-modular synthesizers.
