We’ve opened the 15th floor of our coworking space on the Novartis Campus. The view on Basel and the Rhine is even more outstanding in person! But that’s just the cherry on top for digital health and health tech ventures looking for a new home. Read on to discover what the Novartis Campus has to offer and why this coworking space is perfect for your startup or established company.
The Novartis Campus is Novartis’ global headquarters, with around 7’000 employees on site. It’s a modern center for research, development, innovation and collaboration. You’ll be in close proximity to research institutions like Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI), the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) and share the campus with companies like Pharmaplan, CSL Behring, SOTIO Biotech, Ultragenyx and of course, Novartis itself.
You never know who you might meet in one of the parks, while working out in the on-site gym, having a break at a café or at a Novartis-hosted networking event.
Networking opportunities are crucial for companies and startups. The innovation and flexibility startups bring to the table are what established companies on the Novartis Campus are looking for.
Beyond the invaluable community access, you get everything a digital health startup could wish for:
The Innovation Booster Digital Health Nation is the accelerator run by DayOne that supports early-stage radical ideas in digital health.
Its current cohort is working on 20 projects to test each idea’s feasibility, desirability and viability. At the same time, the participants are collaborating and entering partnerships with companies in our network, looking for the latest innovations.
The accelerator’s team itself moved to the 15th floor and already hosted a coworking day for accelerator participants. For a full day, the project teams came together to explore synergies, organize joint workshops and share brainstorming sessions.
Having a morning coffee with this view is how you start the day right.

Take a leisurely stroll through the beautifully landscaped parks, have a cappuccino at the Basso café with amazing views of the Rhine and marvel at the Wonders of Medicine exhibition at the Novartis Pavillon.

When I introduce new people to the campus, they are surprised to find a fully functioning city within the city.
