Life Science Zurich Impact Conference
Translational Medicine in Zurich
22 January 2018, at the Technopark Zurich
The first Life Science Zurich Impact conference took place on 22 January 2018 at the Technopark Zurich. The meeting was organized by the Life Science Zurich Business Network, the Division of Business and Economic Development at the Office for Economy and Labour of the Canton of Zurich, the Bio-Technopark Schlieren, and the University of Zurich. The theme of the event – Translational Medicine – focused on the transition of new insights and discoveries from basic research and industrial development into clinical applications. Excellent and highly motivated researchers with innovative ideas often drive significant medical progress. However, they often encounter the same problem: How can they get in contact with industry, investors, and collaboration partners at an early stage of their projects to successfully orchestrate the transition from research to commercial development?
