A new office in Lausanne
With 11 offices worldwide, the QbD Group continues its expansion plans with the establishment of a new office in Lausanne, on the shores of Lake Geneva.
“We want to be known within Switzerland as a reliable partner in the field of life sciences. We have a lot to offer life science companies”, said Martijn Reniers, Innovation Officer for the QbD Group. “We are convinced that we can help Swiss companies with their development, from idea to patient.”
Western Switzerland is home to a globally unique life sciences cluster, also known as the Health Valley, that encompasses a dense network of medtech, biotech, and digital health companies. With its 1,400 manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and service providers, the country has the largest number of companies involved in medical technologies per resident in Europe.
Following QbD Group’s decision to open an office in Switzerland – prompted by their need to serve their European client base in Switzerland – the GGBa and Innovaud supported the company’s establishment journey and helped with administrative and legal tasks allowing them to start operating in Switzerland – as Qarad Suisse – as quickly as possible.
