Indiana University and Zimmer Biomet launch research, workforce partnership. April 21, 2026 By dan spalding news now Warsaw. WARSAW - Indiana University and Warsaw-based Zimmer Biomet have entered into a new partnership designed to accelerate technologies that improve joint replacement, bone healing, and mobility. The agreement will result in collaboration on research and development, technical training and credentialing, as well as workforce development initiatives. "This is a significant moment for Indiana University," said IU President Pamela Witten during Monday's announcement. "It's exactly the kind of partnership that reflects who we are as a university. (0:27) More innovative, more engaged, and more determined than ever to move great ideas into things that have real-world impact," she said. It appears the agreement could serve as a direct boost to Warsw's massive collection of orthopedic firms beyond just Zimmer Biomet. IU's statement on Monday says the focus will be on meeting the evolving needs of Indiana's orthopedic sector. Zimmer Biomet President Victor Tornos also celebrated the announcement that further deepens the orthopedic leader's roots in Indiana. "So when you have a bold vision, you need bold partners. And that's what Indiana University has right here. A bold vision, with bold partners, with great students," Tornos said. "Today is a very exciting day, not just for the university, for the state of Indiana, but for the world," he added. A central component of the collaboration is Zimmer Biomet's support and engagement in the Indiana Musculoskeletal Health Partnership for the Advancement of Care & Treatment, or IMPACT, an IU-led statewide consortium shaping Indiana's leadership as a global hub for orthopedic innovation, the news release said. The consortium, named a finalist in the National Science Foundation's Regional Innovation Engines competition, brings together more than 100 partners across academia, industry and government to bridge the gap between patients' unmet medical needs and the technologies that can solve them, including smarter implants and wearable diagnostics. Zimmer Biomet will also engage with faculty and students from the IU Kelley School of Business on applied, interdisciplinary projects focused on practical challenges in the orthopedic sector, including supply chain optimization, operational efficiency and innovation strategy, the news release said. The IU portion of the partnership will be led by the IU Launch Accelerator for Biosciences, known as IU LAB. "IU LAB exists to turn Indiana University's research strengths into solutions that matter in the real world," IU LAB President and CEO David Rosenberg said. "The partnership with Zimmer Biomet does exactly that: embedding industry insight, shared infrastructure and market urgency directly into its research and talent pipeline. "Together with Zimmer Biomet, we are shortening the distance between discovery and deployment while cementing Indiana as the world's leader in orthopedic innovation," Rosenberg said.

Zimmer Biomet wins three awards at Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards 2026. March 27, 2026 Awards Recognize Innovations in Infection Measures, AI-Driven Recovery and Surgeon Engagement across Asia Pacific. SINGAPORE, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Zimmer Biomet (NYSE and SIX: ZBH), a global medical technology leader, today announced it received three awards at the Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards 2026, recognizing the company's innovations across orthopedic product development, digital health and surgeon engagement. * Orthopedic Product Innovation Award for its new iodine-treated hip implant; * Digital Innovation of the Year in Australia for its WalkAI knee replacement recovery tracking platform; and * Marketing & Communications Initiative of the Year in Thailand for its You'll Be Back awareness campaign featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the company's Chief Movement Officer. "These awards reflect the strength of Zimmer Biomet's innovation and the relevance of our solutions across Asia Pacific," said Sang Yi, Group President, Asia Pacific. "From addressing infection risk with advanced implant technologies, to enabling more proactive, data-driven recoveries and strengthening how we engage surgeons, we are focused on solving the most meaningful health care challenges and improving outcomes for patients across the region." Advancing Infection Measures in Orthopedics Zimmer Biomet received the Orthopedic Product Innovation Award for its implants treated with iodine technology, the iTaperloc Complete and iG7 Hip System. These implants are designed to inhibit bacterial adhesion[1] [,] [2] and reduce the risk of periprosthetic joint infection, a serious complication affecting approximately 1%-2% of primary procedures.[3] Iodine, a biocompatible nutrient, helps prevent biofilm formation without contributing to antibiotic resistance.[4] [,] [5] The technology has received regulatory recognition globally, including approval from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in September 2025 and Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in October 2025. Advancing Recovery Through AI Zimmer Biomet's WalkAI platform received the Digital Innovation of the Year - Australia award. The application uses artificial intelligence to analyze real-world mobility data and predict a patient's 90-day gait speed following total knee replacement surgery. By identifying deviations in recovery between days 15 and 40 post-surgery, a typically "lower-touch" period in care, WalkAI is designed to flag patients who may not be recovering as expected and enable earlier clinical intervention. This added visibility allows surgeons to prioritize patients who may require closer monitoring or adjustments to rehabilitation, helping reduce the risk of complications. The platform is currently used by more than 180 surgeons across Australia and New Zealand to support over 20,000 knee replacement patients, demonstrating strong clinical adoption and scalability in practice. Raising Awareness of Movement and Treatment Options The Marketing & Communications Initiative of the Year - Thailand award recognized the "You'll Be Back" campaign, which builds on Zimmer Biomet's partnership with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the company's Chief Movement Officer. Launched at the Royal College of Orthopaedic Surgeons of Thailand Annual Conference, the campaign was adapted specifically for a highly regulated market through close collaboration across corporate communications, marketing, legal and compliance teams. Rather than focusing on product promotion, the initiative centered on the importance of movement and aimed to raise awareness of available treatment options for people living with pain. The message resonated strongly by shifting conversations beyond products toward recovery, longevity and quality of life. The campaign significantly increased engagement, with booth interactions tripling year over year and strong resonance among surgeons. The Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards recognize leading companies and innovations across the region, highlighting advancements in medical devices, digital health and patient care solutions.

Zimmer Biomet reported fourth-quarter revenues of $2.24 billion, up 10.9% year on year, exceeding analyst expectations by 0.9%. The orthopaedic products manufacturer, which designs knee and hip replacements and surgical robotics, delivered mixed results with a revenue beat but slightly missed full-year earnings per share guidance. Chief executive Ivan Tornos highlighted the company's strategic progress in 2025, including integrating three acquisitions whilst navigating tariff headwinds. Zimmer Biomet achieved the fastest revenue growth amongst its surgical equipment peers but showed the weakest performance against analyst estimates in the group. The stock remains flat following the earnings announcement and currently trades at $89.99. The surgical equipment sector reported mixed fourth-quarter results overall, with share prices down an average of 11.7% since the latest earnings.
