SWITZERLAND<br />
Life Sciences<br />
Fastest Growing<br />
Economic Sector<br />
<strong>The</strong> life sciences sector is the fastest growing economic<br />
sector in the Canton of Zurich, which has already earned<br />
a reputation as one of the leading life science centres in<br />
Europe. It is the base in <strong>Switzerland</strong> of global pharmaceuticals<br />
leader Pfizer and of many other prominent life<br />
sciences enterprises.<br />
Dr. Thomas Heiniger, the canton’s State Councillor<br />
for Health, explains, “<strong>The</strong> life sciences cluster in the<br />
canton of Zurich strongly works to support innovation<br />
and further the development of this important sector<br />
within <strong>Switzerland</strong>. Zurich’s life science sector has been<br />
growing by more than 4% a year, and the cantonal<br />
State Council for Health in Zurich, along with the city’s<br />
Executive Council, is working hard to attract international<br />
businesses into our thriving healthcare and life<br />
sciences activities.”<br />
