Briefly about the life science ecosystem between Germany and Switzerland

The life science ecosystem in the economic areas of Zurich and Basel has developed dynamically in recent years and is becoming increasingly important globally, and therefore also of growing interest to Baden-Württemberg as a location for innovation. Switzerland has long been one of the most important and strongest economic partners of Germany’s southwest. More than a third of all Swiss exports to Germany go to Baden-Württemberg; more than a quarter of Swiss imports from Germany come from the German southwest. Baden-Württemberg and Switzerland also have a long and successful history together as mutual investors and innovation partners. Therefore, one focus is also on strengthening and expanding economic and political relations between Baden-Württemberg and Switzerland.
