Ein herzliches Dankeschön an unsere Partner Kanton Basel-Stadt und Kanton Basel-Landschaft für ihre fortlaufende Unterstützung unseres Inkubators BaseLaunch. Wir sind stolz darauf, dass BaseLaunch zu den führenden Biotech-Inkubatoren in Europa zählt. Die von BaseLaunch unterstützten Unternehmen bereichern das Ökosystem der Basel Area in hohem Mass. Hier sind einige Beispiele: ✅ T3 Pharmaceuticals AG – eines der ersten Unternehmen, die BaseLaunch finanziert hat – wurde von Boehringer Ingelheim Ende 2023 für über 450 Mio. CHF übernommen. T3 Pharma hat eine proprietäre Therapieplattform entwickelt, die lebende Bakterien einsetzt, um immunmodulierende Proteine gezielt zu Krebszellen und in die Tumormikroumgebungen zu liefern. ✅ Synendos Therapeutics AG, ein Spin-off der Universität Bern, entwickelt innovative Behandlungen gegen neuropsychiatrische Erkrankungen. Die Firma erhielt kürzlich die Genehmigung der Europäischen Arzneimittel-Agentur, für seinen führenden Molekülkandidaten die Phase-1-Studie „First-in-Human“ zu starten. Im November wurde Synendos zudem mit einem renommierten Grant im Rahmen des Startup-Innovationsprojekts von Innosuisse ausgezeichnet. ✅ Alentis Therapeutics ging aus der Universität Strassburg hervor und hat kürzlich 181,4 Mio. USD in einer Serie-D-Finanzierungsrunde gesammelt. Damit hat sich das gesamte Finanzierungsvolumen auf über 366 Mio. USD erhöht. Diese Mittel werden in die klinische Entwicklung einer umfangreichen Pipeline von Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugaten investiert. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass die Regierung des Kantons Basel-Stadt kommentiert, BaseLaunch habe sich „als Spitzenreiterin im Biotechnologie-Sektor in Europa etabliert,“ und die Regierung des Kantons Basel-Landschaft ergänzt, dass BaseLaunch „ein wichtiges Instrument der regionalen Innovationsförderung im Bereich Life Sciences und wesentlich für die Ansiedlung erfolgsversprechender Jungunternehmen” sei. Gemeinsam mit seinen Partnern aus der Privatwirtschaft freut sich das BaseLaunch-Team – Martyna Wroblewska, Virginia Ballotta, Stephan Emmerth und Neil Goldsmith – auf viele weitere Jahre erfolgreicher Zusammenarbeit.
