Exhibitions in Switzerland for Biotechnology

Switzerland has set a course of expansion in a number of high-tech industries and biotechnology fits the brief. The country has been pursuing innovation in the field and solidifying its position as one of Europe's foremost hubs for groundbreaking research and development. The Swiss biotech landscape is characterized by a symbiotic relationship between companies, world-renowned universities and highly specialized small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). At the core of Switzerland's biotech success is a tightly-knit network that seamlessly integrates research and development. This collaboration has positioned Swiss companies at the forefront of various sectors and resulted in an increase in international attention and investment. Switzerland’s appeal extends beyond its scientific strength. The country entices global specialists with an attractive living environment, complemented by a modern infrastructure and a favorable funding landscape. The presence of successful international chemical and pharmaceutical giants like Novartis and Roche, alongside innovative firms in medical technology, biotechnology and nanotechnology, creates an environment ripe for strategic partnerships, licensing and patent sales. Switzerland offers an exceptional framework for capital procurement as Swiss companies invest significantly in research and development. In 2019 alone, 15.5 billion Swiss francs were dedicated to this sector, with approximately 5.7 billion Swiss francs allocated to pharmaceuticals, chemicals and biotechnology. The nation’s academic institutions play a pivotal role in driving biotech-related research. Leading universities such as ETH Zurich and EPFL regularly team up with a variety of research institutes and cantonal universities on projects, whose outcomes contribute to the Swiss status as a global leader in both theoretical and applied biotechnological research. Switzerland has a lot working in its favor in the decade ahead – modern infrastructure, high quality of life, and access to a skilled workforce – to spearhead even more biotechnological advancements. As the industry evolves, Switzerland is projected to remain a key player of global relevance.
