ABOUT THE EVENT

The Biotech Innovation & Investment Summit 2026 will bring together leading biotech executives, investors, and pharma strategists to explore the future of biotech acquisitions and the innovation pipelines that will shape large pharma portfolios over the next five years. 

With the global pharmaceutical industry increasingly reliant on external innovation to fuel growth, understanding which therapeutic areas, platform technologies, and business models will attract major acquisition interest is critical for biotech leaders and investors alike. 

Hosted at BDO’s offices on Viaduktstrasse in Basel, this late afternoon / early evening event will combine a keynote presentation, moderated panel discussion, and interactive Q&A session, followed by a networking apéro. 

The programme will focus on emerging industry trends, investment signals from large pharma, and the strategic implications for biotech companies positioning themselves for growth and partnership.
