The Trinational Initiative
At the heart of the Upper Rhine Valley, a dynamic cooperation between healthcare actors has progressively developed, bringing together startup support structures from Germany, France, and Switzerland.
The Annual
Trinational Gathering
The first concrete initiative of this collaboration was the creation of an annual trinational event, the ‘Trinational HealthTech Days’, organized on a rotating basis across the three countries. This event gathers startups from different ecosystems alongside partners, investors, and leading corporate groups, fostering high-value exchanges and collaboration opportunities.
Quest for health, in partnership with BadenCampus, LSA Baden-Württemberg and the University of Basel, is organizing the 7th edition of the Trinational HealthTech Days on November 5th.
This cross-border event brings together startups, leading investors, major corporations and key healthcare stakeholders from Switzerland, France and Germany, with Belgium and Canada as special guests, around one shared ambition: accelerating investment and international collaborations in biotech, medtech and digital health.
Nearly 250 qualified participants will gather at IRCAD, an iconic venue for healthcare innovation, providing a unique environment to:
• increase your visibility
• create business and partnership opportunities
• identify emerging innovations and market trends
This year’s edition will also feature internationally renowned Key Opinion Leaders, including two exceptional keynote speakers: Prof. Jacques Marescaux (President of IRCAD) and Prof. Thomas Baumert (Alentis, INSERM), who will share their vision of the major transformations shaping the
healthcare sector.
Our Ambition
& Strategic Goals
Beyond the annual meeting, the trinational dynamic has structured and amplified over time. Looking ahead, our ambition is clear: to transform this cooperation into a powerful acceleration lever for startups, facilitating their access to the French, German, and Swiss markets, as well as to European investors.
