To celebrate its new collaboration with swissnex<\/a>, the GGBa held a kickoff event at swissnex Boston<\/a> on July 17, bringing together friends and partners for a festive night of networking and discussion. Thomas Bohn<\/a>, Executive Director of the GGBa, attended the inaugural event and shared a few details about the GGBa\u2019s work at swissnex Boston. \u201cWestern Switzerland and the Boston area have a lot in common\u201d, he noted. \u201cThey are among the world\u2019s most competitive and dynamic ecosystems for life science research, development, and commercialization. And they both have a buzzing start-up scene, with pioneering players in the fields of biopharma, medtech and digital health\u201d. Attracted by the strong technological expertise and the presence of innovative companies, MassChallenge<\/a>, the Boston-based start-up accelerator, set up camp in Lausanne last year with the support of the GGBa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A fertile ground for the GGBa\u2019s activities<\/strong><\/p>\n

The GGBa established a presence at swissnex Boston and at the swissnex NYC outpost in January 2017. Since then Karolyn Chamberlin<\/a>, the GGBa director in charge of the U.S. market, has been splitting her time between New York and Boston, working part-time in swissnex offices in both cities. \u201cThe thriving tech ecosystem of the Boston and New York areas is a fertile ground for the GGBa\u2019s activities: I get to meet innovative companies on a daily basis\u201d, she explained. \u201cAnd, very importantly, working out of swissnex makes me feel closer to current events in Switzerland\u201d. The GGBa also has a base at the swissnex San Francisco site.<\/p>\n

With offices in San Francisco, Boston, Rio de Janeiro, Bangalore and Shanghai, the swissnex network aims to connect Switzerland and the world in science, education, art and innovation. It is an initiative of Switzerland\u2019s State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI<\/a>) managed in cooperation with the Department of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
