The 0 → 1 Leap
Acting as your technical co-pilots to turn visions into iconic products.
We act as your strategic technical partners, whether you are launching a new venture or revitalizing an established product line. Bringing an entrepreneurial mindset to every project, we treat your challenges as our own—focusing on value, cost-efficiency, and long-term viability.
We don’t just sketch ideas; we de-risk them. By integrating engineering constraints and regulatory logic from the very first creative phase, we ensure your concept is not only innovative but also technically feasible and economically robust. We help you navigate the uncertainty of early development with a clear path to industrialization.
Key deliverables:
- Ideation & Strategy: MVP definition & Product roadmap.
- Industrial Design: Innovation that respects your brand identity.
- UX: Human Factors & Usability
- Feasibility Analysis & Prototyping: Early technical & cost assessment to minimize risk.
Scale & Industrialization
DFM, CoGS, Supplier Partnership Management & Production-Ready Design.
Scale & Industrialization
Turning a working prototype into a profitable reality.
A prototype proves the concept; industrialization proves the business. We bridge the gap between the lab and the factory floor, ensuring your product is not just "manufacturable," but optimized for mass production.
We act as the guardians of your margins. Through rigorous Design for Manufacturing (DFM), we refine every part to reduce complexity and assembly time without compromising the design intent. We challenge the Bill of Materials (BOM) line by line to secure the best cost-to-quality ratio. Whether managing supply chains in Switzerland or abroad, we speak the language of manufacturers to deliver a reliable, scalable product.
Key deliverables:
- DFM/DFA: Design for Manufacturing & Assembly.
- CoGS: BOM reduction and smart material selection.
- Supply Chain Management: Vendor selection and tooling supervision.
- Production Transfer: Quality Control (QC) and ramp-up support.

Engineering On-Demand
Solving critical roadblocks & navigating regulatory complexity.
Sometimes, you don't need a full development cycle—you just need to get unstuck. Whether you are facing a specific technical failure, a manufacturing crisis, or a gap in your internal know-how, we step in as a surgical strike team. We analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve complex engineering challenges to get your project moving again immediately.
Beyond crisis management, we provide the safety net for your innovation. With deep roots in MedTech, we master the art of compliance. We integrate Risk Management and international standards into your product’s DNA, ensuring that your path to certification is clear and controlled. Plus, we open the doors to our qualified Supplier Network, connecting you with partners we trust to deliver quality.
Key capabilities:
- Ad-hoc Consulting: Problem-solving & technical audits.
- Regulatory Compliance: ISO 13485, MDR support & Standards application.
- Risk Management: FMEA & Safety engineering.
- Supplier Ecosystem: Access to our trusted Swiss & international network.
Swiss Engineering, Agile Execution.
Founded in 2023, Ekio is a Lausanne-based engineering consultancy dedicated to transforming physical ideas into tangible, manufacturable solutions.
We bridge the gap between creative design and industrial reality. Unlike traditional agencies, we integrate regulatory requirements and production constraints from day one. With deep roots in MedTech and certification, we apply high-value rigor to every project—whether in healthcare, automotive, aerospace, or watchmaking.
Our founders bring hands-on experience to guide your product through the technical maze. We ensure every solution is not only functional and compliant but also ergonomic and ready for production at scale.
