Dutch startups will showcase innovations in Organ-on-Chip technology at Swiss Biotech Days on 5-6 May 2025, bolstering Netherlands-Switzerland collaboration.

Exponential Growth and Global Impact

The Swiss Biotech Days has established itself as a cornerstone event in the biotechnology sector, demonstrating remarkable growth of 40% annually since 2021 [1]. The 2024 edition attracted 2,500 participants from over 40 countries, including 17 international delegations [2][3], setting a strong precedent for the upcoming 2025 event. This platform has evolved into a premier global biotechnology conference, particularly significant for fostering international collaboration and partnerships in healthcare technology development [1].

Strategic Netherlands-Switzerland Collaboration

Health~Holland is taking a leading role in strengthening bilateral relations by securing a dedicated booth at the event [1]. The organization is currently conducting a comprehensive market study to develop a detailed roadmap for Netherlands-Switzerland collaboration [4]. Participants can access exclusive networking opportunities through a special discount code (SPO25-red-Embassyo-0650), which includes an additional side visit on May 7, 2025, designed to provide deeper insights into the Swiss biotech market [4].

Comprehensive Program and Networking Opportunities

The event will commence with a welcome reception on May 4, 2025, followed by two full conference days [1]. Attendees will have access to more than 100 exhibitors, thematic company pitching sessions, and panel discussions [1]. The program includes the prestigious Swiss Biotech Success Stories Awards and the release of the Swiss Biotech Report 2025 [1]. The Global Village component will serve as a crucial platform for international delegations to strengthen their connections with the Swiss biotech hub, facilitating cross-border investments and R&D collaborations [3].

Broader Industry Context

This event is part of a larger series of significant biotech gatherings in 2025, including the Innovation for Health conference on April 3 and the hDMT conference on April 2-3 [4]. The registration deadline is set for April 11, 2025 [4], with the event expecting to surpass previous attendance records [alert! ‘exact attendance projection not provided in sources’]. The Swiss Biotech Association, founded in 1998, continues to play a crucial role in facilitating these international connections and supporting the broader biotech industry [5].
