Two successful years for BASEL INCUBATOR

The BASEL INCUBATOR has now been active for two years. Its success has been greater than expected: in total, 16 companies have arrived. Three of them have left the ‘Incubator’ again – this is within the expected turnover range. Since the start of 2012 the incubator has already welcomed two new start-up companies to our premises at the Stücki Business Center in Basel: Alma BioTherapeutics and Spheroidals.

The incubator has become an important part of the innovation landscape of north-west Switzerland. The collaboration with the other players, such as i-net Switzerland, the Technologiepark Basel, businessparc Reinach/Laufen and many others, has worked out brilliantly.

Precision robots for better surgery, medicines for fatal hospital-acquired infections, and novel remedies for psoriasis or cardiovascular disease, products to guard against viruses in the environment, viruses in foods and even the computer sort of virus, tools for virtual collaboration and creativity at the computer, and also radically innovative medical imaging procedures – BASEL INCUBATOR’s start-up companies are working at full pressure on all of these.

A short description of eleven companies in the Incubator can be found in the current newsletter of the organisation.
