Global Innovation Summit 2026

The Global Innovation Summit 2026 brings the international innovation community to Basel and takes place directly alongside the Swiss Biotech Day. This setting strengthens international collaboration and connects the Swiss biotech ecosystem with global partners ready to work together.

The event helps organisations turn ideas into cross border projects and gives direct access to funding opportunities across the Eureka network. You can meet partners, shape new project concepts, and explore technologies in a focused international setting. The programme supports real exchange and practical cooperation across sectors and countries.

More than 1,000 participants from over 40 countries are expected. The agenda combines strategic discussion with hands on networking and highlights biotechnology, enabling technologies, digitalisation, translational research and development, manufacturing, and quality.

What you can expect:

• International B2B matchmaking sessions to meet partners and start project discussions
• Keynotes from leading experts and decision makers
• Insights into funding opportunities within the Eureka network
• Direct exchange with companies, research organisations, and innovation networks

The registration will be open until the 6th of April 2026. Additional details and national contact points are available on the Eureka website.
