PharmaBoardroom today releases its new 51-page Healthcare & Life Sciences Review Switzerland 2018.
Building on our two recent reports on Switzerland, this special Part III edition of Healthcare & Life Sciences Review casts a broad eye over the myriad of niches and specializations within the sector in which Switzerland and Swiss companies excel.
Notable topicalities include Novartis Oncology”s ground-breaking CAR-T therapy based on the exclusive insights of Bruno Strigini; how SwissMedic – the country”s pharmaceutical regulator – is leading the world in terms of regulatory innovation; the story of Actelion”s acquisition by J&J and the subsequent emergence of a new entity – Idorsia – led by the inimitable Jean-Paul Clozel; Switzerland”s emergence as a destination for elite-level outsourced manufacturing; and the country”s embrace of digitally disruptive technologies throughout the pharmaceutical value chain, as evinced by SwissPost”s use of drones for drug deliveries.
Based on the insights of leaders and pioneers across the pharmaceutical value chain – from regulators to global affiliate heads and the founders of innovative local SMEs – HCLS Review Switzerland 2018 paints a picture of a country and an industry very much at the forefront of global innovation.
