Why we exist
The best of multiple worlds
We aim to make Basel the best place for early-stage life sciences companies to grow. As part of the Canton of Basel-Stadt’s economic promotion mandate, we combine the stability of public backing with the agility of an entrepreneurial team so founders can focus on their science.
Most lab providers are either commercial real estate operators or bureaucratic public institutions. Tech Park Basel is neither – and that’s the point.
| Mission-driven, not profit-driven | We reinvest, not distribute. Every franc saved on rent extends your runway. |
| Anchored by the Canton of Basel-Stadt | A stable, long-term institutional commitment not a lease that follows the market. |
| 15+ years alongside life sciences companies | From spin-off to IPO, we’ve seen the whole journey and supported it. |
| A curated community | Not just neighbours, but peers, partners and a team that knows your stage. |
OUR PLACE IN THE ECOSYSTEM
At the centre of the world’s leading life sciences cluster.
There’s no region in the world like Basel for life sciences. Tech Park Basel sits at the heart of it — a connecting node between young companies, global pharma, academia and capital.

Trägerschaft & governance
Backed by the canton. Accountable to a mission.
Our public mandate isn’t a footnote — it’s the reason our incentives point the same way as yours. We reinvest, we stay for the long term, and we answer to the region, not to shareholders.
We work closely with Basel’s leading institutions to create the most supportive environment possible for our tenants.
