Plan your pharmaceutical launch in Switzerland
Turn a Swiss market opportunity into a practical workplan. Organise regulatory, local partner, reimbursement and supply decisions before committing to launch dates or a full local affiliate.
For pharmaceutical companies, biotech teams and product owners
Where is your company in its Swiss launch planning?
Choose the starting point closest to your project. You can explore the planning resources without completing a questionnaire, or contact us immediately if you already need a Swiss partner.
Approved abroad, planning Swiss entry
Record existing approvals and dossier availability. Identify the Swiss regulatory, reimbursement and operational questions still to resolve.

Translate the launch plan into responsibilities, deliverables and handover points. Compare proposals against the same written scope.

Turn your Swiss launch plan into a partner brief
Tell us your starting point and the support you need. You can discuss the product, timing and local responsibilities in the follow-up rather than completing a long initial form.

Planning guides
Build a Swiss pharmaceutical launch roadmap
Start with a decision map rather than a single launch date. Identify the medicinal product, the available dossier, the target indication and the intended Swiss customer channels. An existing foreign approval is an input to route selection, not a substitute for checking the Swiss pathway. Mark assumptions explicitly so that the project team knows which dates depend on unresolved regulatory or commercial decisions.
Explore the guide →Assign the Swiss responsibilities
A local partner discussion is more useful when your team separates functions from company names. List the authorisation-holder role, regulatory maintenance, pharmacovigilance, quality, import, storage, distribution and customer support. Decide which capabilities you retain, which you need locally and which you want one provider to coordinate.
Explore the guide →Review commercial readiness beyond authorisation
A launch decision combines regulatory feasibility with a workable commercial and supply plan. Define your target customer channels, expected demand assumptions and the proposed reimbursement route. Separate evidence from estimates. A market-size figure alone does not establish achievable sales, and a directory of approved medicines is not a complete demand forecast.

Tell us where you need support. Email, phone and a short message are enough to start; project details can follow in a conversation.
