For over 20 years, Toolpoint has brought competitors, start-ups, universities and research institutes to one table. We're proud that this network sparks real collaboration, and that through our Lab Science Award and training initiatives we help young talent build careers in lab science.

Our role models are the people who turn lab science into progress: founders who dare to build new instruments, engineers and technicians who make them reliable, and companies that share knowledge, train apprentices and prove that collaboration and competition can go hand in hand.

My kids would say I organise meetings for people who build lab robots and give prizes to students. Not far off! I bring companies, researchers and young talent together so that the machines that test our medicines, food and water keep getting smarter.

By seeing lab-technology suppliers as partners, not just vendors. Involve our members early in your R&D and scale-up, share your future lab needs, join our events and expert groups, and help us attract young talent to lab science. Together we can make Swiss biotech faster and more competitive.

Biotech and pharma companies of all sizes, especially start-ups and scale-ups building their labs, as well as CDMOs, hospitals and diagnostic labs, universities, investors and policymakers. Anyone who uses, develops or funds lab technology is welcome to connect with us.
