NanoTech: Exhibition

Exhibitors Profiles

Founded in 2003, the BioAlps Association is the Life Science cluster of Western Switzerland, supported by the Cantons of Bern, Fribourg, Vaud, Neuchâtel, Geneva, Valais, Jura and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, with a mission of promoting and furthering excellence and performance in MedTech and BioTech developments in this cluster at all levels: regionally, nationally, and in the international arena. It is the entry point to a wealth of contacts, knowhow, knowledge and provides both personal and institutional support.

Everything BioAlps does is geared towards innovation and nurturing creativity in research, education and business to enable novel products and services to reach the market efficiently and quickly. By means of the numerous events that the association organizes and sponsors, and the production of regular documentation as to current developments within the region, BioAlps is able to offer representatives from academic, industrial, financial and political backgrounds a variety of fruitful opportunities to connect with others linked to the life sciences.

One company will be represented at the booth: Lyncee Tec
