Life Sciences Workplace Basel is a senior-level workplace conference exploring the future of the life sciences workplace. It is part of the leading global events series, WORKTECH. 

Bringing together workplace leaders from across the life sciences industry, Life Sciences Workplace Basel focuses on the future of work through the lens of people, place, and technology.
A highly reputable event, it convenes workplace, real estate, technology, HR, and operations leaders from life sciences, healthcare, and biotech, who navigate complex, hybrid, and rapidly changing environments.

Through end-user case studies, expert panels, and open discussion, the conference examines how workplace strategy, data, technology, and culture intersect to support business performance. Sessions are designed to be peer-led and insight-driven, encouraging shared learning rather than product-led presentations.

Life Sciences Workplace Basel connects senior professionals from across Switzerland and internationally to exchange perspectives, benchmark strategies, and explore how leading organisations are shaping the workplace of the future.

Last Year at Life Sciences Workplace in Boston

Life Sciences Workplace25 Boston brought together senior leaders from life sciences institutions, including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Takeda, Genentech, BioMed Realty, Moderna, Ipsen, and Harvard Business School.

Discussions focused on workplace strategies that strengthen collaboration, culture, and retention, emerging approaches to experience design, and the growing impact of AI and data on workplace decision-making.

Attendees left with practical insight into workplace intelligence, AI experimentation, culture-led design, and long-term workplace strategy — grounded in real-world experience and peer discussion.

Key Themes

Resiliency & Workplace Experience: Shaping the Future of Life Sciences Real Estate

As the life sciences sector continues to expand, it stands out for its resilience, driven by the essential, physical nature of its work and ongoing demand for innovation. As companies in biotech, pharma, and medical research navigate economic uncertainty and shifting employee expectations, the intersection of real estate strategy and workplace experience has never been more critical. This theme examines how forward-thinking organizations are integrating workplace, real estate, and technology to create environments that are not only operationally resilient but also human-centered and data-driven. From lab and HQ design to hybrid strategies and advanced analytics, sessions will spotlight how cross-functional teams are reimagining physical space to support culture, community, and long-term business outcomes.

AI, Data & Digital Transformation: Powering the Next Era of Life Sciences

A new wave of digital transformation is reshaping how life sciences and public health organizations harness data to drive discovery, accelerate development, and enhance decision-making. With advances in AI, machine learning, and automation, the potential to turn complex data into actionable insight is growing exponentially. As organizations modernize their digital infrastructure and workflows, leaders are leveraging these technologies to unlock innovation, improve patient and employee outcomes, and gain a competitive edge.

Talent, Purpose & The Mission Driven Workplace

In today’s competitive landscape, legacy reputation is no longer enough to attract and retain top life sciences talent. The next generation of innovators is seeking more than a job—they want purpose, impact, and alignment with mission. As the industry competes with tech and other high-growth sectors, how can leaders create environments that not only support scientific advancement but also foster a deep connection to organizational values and global health outcomes?

The Power of Placemaking: Driving Innovation & Collaboration

Innovation in life sciences is increasingly fuelled by ecosystems, where talent, research, and industry co-locate to share knowledge and resources. This conference explores how strategic placemaking and the development of innovation clusters are unlocking new opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration, commercialization, and scientific advancement. From campus-scale research hubs to emerging biotech corridors, we’ll examine how thoughtful design, shared infrastructure, and community engagement can foster connectivity and accelerate discovery. Join leaders in real estate, science, and policy as they discuss how to create environments that empower the next generation of life sciences breakthroughs.
