The Global Village is a platform hosted by the Swiss Biotech Association in partnership with other Swiss organizations who engage in worldwide networking and international collaboration in biotech and life sciences. Since its inception in 2022, the Global Village has attracted delegations from across North and South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, reflecting its success in advancing global biotech collaboration.
Connecting global biotech executives
to Swiss innovators
The Global Village, spearheaded by the Swiss Biotech Association, serves as a premier platform for fostering international collaboration and networking within the biotech and life sciences industries. In partnership with leading Swiss organizations, it offers a continuous, year-round gateway for global biotech clusters to forge and deepen strategic, long-term partnerships within Switzerland’s thriving biotech ecosystem.
Engagement for meaningful connections
While the Swiss Biotech Day serves as the anchor event
for the Global Village, it extends far beyond. Facilitating ongoing collaboration, the Global Village allows industry stakeholders and decision-makers to build meaningful connections with Swiss innovation. This continuous engagement ensures a dynamic exchange of ideas, resources, and opportunities, driving sustained progress and impactful partnerships.
The Global Village platform provides a spectrum of engagement opportunities – from gaining insights into the diversity of the Swiss biotech landscape to facilitating partnerships and long-term collaborations.
