Pharma and Life Science Day 2025
Following the success of previous editions in Munich and Zurich, we are excited to invite you to this year’s Pharma & Life Sciences Day, now with the Canton of Zug as network partner and brought to you by the life sciences teams of Simmons & Simmons, Stolmár & Partner, and MLL Legal, alongside leading industry voices and advisors.
New location, fresh perspectives
This year, we are moving the conversation to Zug! Join us on Wednesday, 26 November 2025 at Grabenstrasse 2, Baar for a day of insights, innovation, and meaningful connections. The programme will feature updates on the latest developments shaping the life sciences landscape.
What you can expect
Whether your focus is on pharmaceuticals, medtech, IP, or market trends, this event offers a deep dive into the legal and commercial topics driving the life sciences industry. Hear from top industry experts – including Novartis – as we explore emerging legal challenges and IP opportunities in life sciences.
Why you should attend
This is more than a conference – it is an opportunity to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and foster new collaborations. Participation is free of charge, courtesy of our hosts and partners. Presentations will be held in English or German.
We will start the day with coffee and close with an apéro – the perfect chance for informal networking.
