Find the type of Swiss partner your project needs
Start with the capability you need, then investigate the companies. Regulatory consulting, authorisation ownership and distribution are different functions: compare their scope before treating them as interchangeable.
Import and distribution
Research wholesalers and distribution businesses. Confirm the relevant activities, product handling, contracting entity and responsibilities directly.
Explore this route: Import and distributionManufacturing and development
Research CDMO profiles for development, production or technical transfer. Separate these activities from the Swiss authorisation-holder role.
