ENGIMMUNE AND CSEM’S PROXIMITY ACCELERATES THEIR QUEST TO REVOLUTIONIZE CANCER TREATMENT

The collaboration between Engimmune Therapeutics and the Swiss Technology Innovation Center CSEM accelerates cancer screening. Their shared success fast-tracked by having their offices just one staircase away at the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area – Main Campus.

FOUR ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS FOR SWITZERLAND INNOVATION PARK BASEL AREA

The Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area in Allschwil in the canton of Basel-Landschaft is set to be expanded from 50,000 square meters to 115,000 square meters by 2029: Opened a year ago, the main building will be supplemented by four new buildings, which will together form the Main Campus. Senn Resources is investing around 350 million Swiss francs to make this vision a reality.

A Vision becomes Reality

On their mission to develop a revolutionary new campus into one of the most important biotech and healthcare innovation centers in the world, Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area and SENN proudly announce the pre-opening of the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area Main Campus. Opening in summer 2022, the campus will offer a state-of-the-art working environment for startups, scaleups and established companies. The official early booking period has started.

Go-ahead for unique innovation campus in Allschwil

The Bachgraben enterprise zone in Allschwil just outside Basel is expanding rapidly. Excavation work has now begun on the BaseLink site for the innovation and enterprise campus. The impressive building was designed by Basel-based architects Herzog & de Meuron. The developer is the St.Gallen property development company Senn Resources AG. The Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area has been confirmed as a strategic partner and anchor tenant. Alongside the building currently under construction for the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, the building will add to the Basel region's ecosystem for research, education and innovative businesses in the areas of life sciences, biotech, public health and medtech.

A strong cooperation

With the expansion of the Main Campus, a vision to build Europe’s Silicon Valley for biotech and health tech pioneers becomes reality. Two organizations contribute significantly to the realization of the new site. The development and construction of the site is carried out by the real estate company SENN. Here, the family-owned builder impressively demonstrates its core competencies working with world-renowned architects like Herzog & de Meuron in an efficient and economical way. The second organization, Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area, forms the ecosystem that allows universities and innovative companies to collaborate and shape the future in Switzerland’s largest life science focused area of an innovation park.
