No need to search anymore thanks to the new ILMAC event platform. Just follow the topics you are interested in and the platform will generate recommendations for you personally.
The life sciences and chemical sectors are very strongly represented in Switzerland and constitute a key pillar of the economy. Within this market, companies are currently starting to move their focus back to Switzerland again. Production is returning to Switzerland, and companies that are established here are investing in their home location to a greater extent once more.
The Basel conurbation is one of Europe’s biggest life sciences regions. Almost two thirds of those employed in the Swiss pharmaceutical industry work in this cluster. In addition, a major portion of the Swiss added value chain is generated in Basel and its surroundings. Around one third of all Swiss exports and a fifth of all Swiss imports are attributable to pharmaceutical products.
Global sales of the top ten Swiss chemical and pharmaceutical companies totalled CHF 147 billion in 2017.

Switching from batch production to continuous processes. This is increasingly being demanded in production, with ever-smaller quantities. Where are the obstacles and what are the next steps? Find out here what innovations the market has to offer.
Here, the focus is on logistics in the pharmaceutical sector, from packaging through to traceability.
Through digitisation and the resulting networking of process management and system operation, maintenance is becoming the backbone of Industry 4.0. And services in GxP are also in demand. Augmented and virtual reality are increasingly being deployed in this field.
Industrial manufacturing is being increasingly digitised. Data is captured to optimise processes, automatically coordinate components with each other, achieve shorter downtimes and ensure quality. The solution approaches are as varied as the potential applications. You will find topical examples here.
Research takes a lot of time. How can AI and digitisation help obtain results more quickly or, to take a topical issue, find a new vaccine within a short period of time, for example? Large amounts of data have to be evaluated and summarised. How can digitisation make chemical research more effective and efficient?
Requirements on products and processes in the life sciences are constantly increasing. Production in a cleanroom is frequently already standard. Cleanroom technology takes in all technical and operational measures that avoid potential contamination risks for products.
If you are looking for a new employee or are after a new job in the life sciences, then this is the right place for you; providers and applicants can engage in discussions, etc.
Nanotechnology is one of the key technologies of the twenty-first century, encompassing various different fields. Nanobiotechnology, for example, combines working methods from nanotechnology with findings and methods from biology and biotechnology. Life science, in particular, and also environmental technology see this field as holding great potential, and certain developments have already made their way into our everyday lives.
Switzerland is a leader in the production of special print media for 3D printing.
