The new location will offer fully serviced laboratory space for biotech start-ups and life science companies in the Lake Geneva region.
This expansion completes Superlab Suisse’s national footprint, adding to its existing facilities in Lausanne, Basel and Zurich.
The Geneva site is designed to meet demand for flexible, ready-to-use laboratory space in a region with a high concentration of life sciences research and innovation.
Xi Zhang (pictured), founder and CEO of Superlab Suisse commented: “Geneva is rising as one of the most dynamic life science clusters in the world."
"With global institutions, cutting-edge research, and a fast-growing biotech sector, Geneva is shaping the future of life sciences — and Superlab Suisse is here to build what comes next.”

The new Superlab Suisse Geneva site will provide
- private and shared lab spaces

- preferential rates with key lab suppliers via an integrated e-commerce platform.
Location and ecosystem
The facility will be located within Campus Biotech, a Geneva-based hub focused on neuroscience, digital health and global health.

Strategic context
The Lake Geneva region, often referred to as Switzerland’s “Health Valley,” is home to more than 750 life science companies.
Switzerland has ranked first on the UN Global Innovation Index for 13 consecutive years and saw a 50% increase in life sciences capital investment in 2024.
“Geneva is rapidly becoming a global hub for life sciences where research and innovation come together,” said Igor Fisch, Chair of FONGIT and a successful serial life sciences entrepreneur.
“We’re proud to support Superlab Suisse’s expansion to Campus Biotech, providing start-ups with access to world-class infrastructure.”
“With capital, talent and infrastructure aligned, Geneva is positioned for what’s next,” added Xi Zhang. “Superlab Suisse is here to activate that potential.”
