Switzerland is home to a globally unique Life Sciences cluster. In addition to chemical and pharmaceutical firms, this encompasses a dense network of medtech, biotech and nanotech companies. Thanks to leading universities, research-based pharmaceutical companies and the availability of high-quality scientists, the Swiss Life Sciences industry is among the most innovative and productive worldwide. With 98% of its turnover generated abroad, the Life Sciences industry in Switzerland has a strong international bias.
The Welsh Life Sciences industry currently employs more than 12,000 people in over 360 companies with an approximate turnover of £2bn. Wales has world-leading academic expertise and a central Life Sciences Hub, which catalyses innovation and collaboration between industry, health, social care and academia. The Development Bank of Wales (DBW) supports businesses to start up and grow and has a track record of investing in companies in the Life Sciences field. This event will provide an opportunity for participants to discuss how the Life Sciences sectors in Wales and Switzerland are developing and will showcase the experience of Roche as a Swiss company operating successfully in the UK.
The evening will conclude with a networking reception with Swiss wines and canapés.
