Community
Build Your Network
When you join the park, you and your team will find yourselves in the middle of an immense and diverse community of great minds and businesses. Your startup will soar to new heights by tapping into the invaluable power of our tight-knit community made up of decision-makers, investors and innovators with industry or academic background.
Spread over four different sites across the Basel Area, our coworking spaces have created a startup community that will support you and your company on your success journey.
Companies situated in the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area find themselves in the midst of a thriving ecosystem. Residents are given every opportunity to profit from the Park’s excellent network in the academic and corporate world. We act as a catalyst for innovation and progress – connecting, supporting, and engaging people with ideas and passion in biotech, MedTech, digital health, health tech, and industrial transformation. Our place features offices and private or shared labs, as well as common spaces suited to your everyday business life.
Founders who join our coworking spaces, or rent a private office or even a lab space will meet like-minded scientists and founders who have faced some of the same challenges and gone through the same stages of entrepreneurship. The entire park has been designed to promote fruitful exchange and cooperation on all levels among residents with communal areas and common lounges.
All of this located in the heart of Europe’s leading healthcare and life sciences powerhouse of the Basel Area.
The Basel Area is considered one of the most important centers for the global healthcare industry. The region counts 700 life science companies and a workforce of more than 33,000 well-trained specialists. The area prospers thanks to a unique combination of top-grade universities and research organizations, start-ups with ground-breaking ideas, highly innovative SMEs and headquarters of leading global players.
The steady economic growth of the area is based on a strong foundation of entrepreneurial thinking, creativity and the combined knowledge of the great minds uniting here for research, development and production. We’ve established ourselves in four different sites within the Basel Area (Allschwil, Basel, Novartis Campus and Jura) to leverage the extraordinary potential of the region and for you to have access to as many resources as you require.
