CDMOs are currently setting the agenda across the industry. Alongside peers such as Vetter, Lonza has now delivered a clear statement of intent: strong results, sharper focus and an even more determined commitment to its core business. But the stronger investment strategy internationally frightens Switzerland – at least some analysts.

Roche made a clear statement in 2025. The Basel-based group increased sales by 7% at constant exchange rates to CHF 61.5bn (€67bn) and lifted core operating profit by as much as 13%. For many observers, this represents far more than just a solid set of annual results.

Roche is back in China — and this time at a very different price point. In a renewed partnership with MediLink Therapeutics, the Swiss pharmaceutical group has secured a second antibody–drug conjugate (ADC), underlining how the first collaboration has paid dividends for both sides.

Basel-based NUCLIDIUM AG has successfully closed a Series B financing round of CHF 79 million (EUR 84 million) to advance the development of its copper-based radiopharmaceutical platform. The round was led by Kurma Growth Opportunities Fund, Angelini Ventures, Wellington Partners, and Neva SGR, a company of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group.
