European-Life-Sciences-Ecosystems

The Basel life sciences ecosystem and the regional real estate market have gone through a transition over the last decade, from being largely owner-occupied to a rental market for laboratory and office spaces. With the opening of former inner-city industrial sites (e.g. Stücki, Klybeck, Rosental Mitte, Novartis Campus), increasing government economic development activities, and growing investor appetite, further laboratory potential has opened for start-ups and SMEs. The Basel region proves to be the largest life sciences market in Europe and still shows considerable investment activities.
