Novartis Campus

Novartis Campus opened to the public and external companies in October 2022. Since then, various players have moved their operations to the Campus. Biotech companies such as Ultragenyx, SOTIO Biotech or FoRx Therapeutics or renowned research institutes like the Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI) or the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB).

The Novartis Campus is a hub for innovation and provides the ideal breeding ground for companies in healthtech and the life sciences to grow and strive. It offers a variety of amenities from restaurants and shops to a gym and sport clubs.

The Novartis Campus site is dedicated to ventures in the healthtech area. Our residents are working in digital health, immunoinformatics, vaccine development, biometric stimulation technologies, neuromodulation therapies, biotherapeutics, drug development consulting, AI-based diagnostics, cancer treatments, and more.

Different types and sized companies have settled into our office, from startups to departments of well-established companies. This allows for unique interactions between companies at different stages and potential collaborations that further boost business growth.

A variety of community events, some exclusive to our innovative ecosystem, are taking place within and around the Innovation Park. These events provide the perfect platform for expanding your network. For example, the Open mic: Next in health series, a well established event in Basel, taking place four times a year, is hosted by the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area – Novartis Campus.

As a resident, you can benefit from the proximity to the Rhine river and Basel city while you become part of a neighborhood of key healthtech and life sciences companies.  If you are new to the community, you can find like-minded peers and when you already know the ecosystem, it is a great space to maintain existing connections.

As a resident of the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area – Novartis Campus, you have 24/7 access to the Campus and our office with a badge. Public areas and other amenities are accessible during the official Campus opening hours or according to their opening hours.

We encourage our residents to actively engage with the Park community and participate in events at all our sites. It is possible to work from other sites for a limited time upon request.

As a resident, you have access to our innovation ecosystem which includes early-stage companies and also large corporates. Being onsite means you can bump into them at any time, whether it is at our events, in common areas, or at events taking place at the Campus (organized by Novartis or externals).
