Research & Development
The leading life sciences region in Switzerland
The Basel region is a national and global leader in pharmaceutical development – since the 1758 establishment of J. R. Geigy, the predecessor to Novartis. Voltaren, Valium, Sandimmun, or MabThera are just a few of the products made in Basel that have left a lasting mark in the medical world. Today, Basel-based pharmaceutical companies make annual investments totaling six billion Swiss francs (roughly equivalent sum in USD) in research and clinical development of new active ingredients.
