From Asia to Switzerland: Rethinking biotech innovation
Asia’s biotech ecosystem is evolving rapidly. What can Switzerland learn from its speed, ambition and approach to innovation?
In the first episode of "The health horizon", host Gian-Andrea Degen speaks with Claude Fuhrer, Partner and Global Health Industries Transformation Leader at PwC Switzerland, following his visit to BioHK2026.
Asia, and China in particular, has developed from primarily a sales and manufacturing market into an important source of research, innovation and new treatments. The conversation explores what this shift means for Swiss healthcare and life sciences companies, and where opportunities for closer collaboration may lie.
Claude shares what stood out during his conversations with biotech companies, investors and other industry players in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. He talks about the speed and ambition of the Asian biotech ecosystem, its openness to new technologies and the global mindset of many emerging companies.
The discussion also looks at Switzerland’s role as a potential gateway for Asian biotech companies seeking to scale internationally. Combining Asia’s speed and innovation with Switzerland’s strengths in quality, trust and regulatory thoroughness could create opportunities for both ecosystems.
