Pharmidex attending the Global Business Accelerator visit to Switzerland
March 10, 2018

Pharmidex will be attending the Global Business Accelerator Program which is run by the Enterprise Europe Network and supported by Innovate UK.

The Enterprise Europe Network, supported by Innovate UK, are visiting Switzerland to focus on the pharmaceutical technology industry. The chosen companies will have the opportunity to meet pharmaceutical companies and key stakeholders based in Basel and attend ProcureCon Pharma in Zürich for the next three days


The Swiss pharmaceutical sector is a major employer with more than 40,000 people working directly for the industry. If the indirect work created through ancillary industries is included, as many as 172,000 jobs are related to the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, it accounts for up to a third of all Swiss exports, and the productivity of the industry is four times as high as that of the economy as a whole.


Three big clusters – the Lake Geneva area, the Basel region and Zürich-Zug-Lucerne – account for the lion’s share of the gross value added of the Swiss pharmaceutical industry and present many collabartive opputunities for UK companies. 


During the trip Pharmidex will also be attending ProcureCon Pharma, organised by Worldwide Business Research, will take place from 13 to 15 March 2018 in Zürich. Delegates will have the opportunity to join 200 senior procurement professionals from Merck, Astra Zeneca, Roche, Sanofi, Lonza and other world-leading pharmaceutical businesses over three days. 


We look forward to meeting you there.
