A Whole New Game? Innovation and Regulation in China and Switzerland
Switzerland is home to a highly innovative life sciences cluster. Many multinational corporations, as well as a network of smaller companies and startups have operations in Switzerland, mostly in the Basel Area. The industry is vibrant, with many innovative developments occurring in pharmaceuticals, biotech or digital health.
In China, the life sciences industry has been growing at an accelerated pace in the last few years and at the same time China is moving towards becoming the largest pharmaceutical market in the world. Both, Swiss and Chinese companies have a lot to gain from innovation and international expansion.
During this year’s Swiss-Chinese Life Sciences Forum, we will address current key issues in the industry. Guest speakers from Swiss as well as Chinese companies will present insights into the following topics:
· Ways to set up operations in Switzerland to access the European market
· Innovation at startups
· Macro-economic trends in the life sciences industry and regulatory developments
· Strengthening Sino-Swiss collaboration
We are looking forward to welcoming you at this year’s Life Sciences Forum!
