Swiss cluster booths
The Swiss cluster booths exhibit the innovation power of Switzerland. Selected clusters offer insight into their activities and are interested in exploring collaboration opportunities.
About the format
The Swiss cluster booth area is designed to showcase the excellence and partnering opportunities of the Swiss innovation and R&D infrastructure and foster collaboration with key national and international stakeholders.
Clusters take part in the Swiss cluster exhibition area, located next to the international delegations in the Global Village. It is an excellent opportunity to highlight the innovation power of your organization and its members while connecting with more than 3,500 biotech professionals from more than 50 countries.
Your organization shares a booth with other organizations from your cluster region. Together you present your region’s innovation power and R&D capabilities and strengthen connections within the biotech ecosystem.
In 2026, eleven clusters took part, from Ticino to Valais and from Zurich to Lausanne.
