1st European Chemistry Partnering

February 16^th 2017, Frankfurt, Germany
9.00am until 7.00pm
IHK Frankfurt am Main (Chamber of Industry and Commerce)

Flyer-Program

Chemistry Start-ups are setting trends! A vitalized Chemistry Start-up scene is going from strength to strength. Still cautious, it is nevertheless gaining more and more momentum, from the cohesion of traditional black chemistry to new, impulse-giving green chemistry - across all disciplines and in all areas of our lives: chemistry, nutrition, mobility, energy, living, leisure, construction, textiles, consumer care and health.

Innovation Engine

The chemical industry is a cornerstone of our prosperity in Europe. It's no coincidence that chemistry is referred to as an “Innovation engine”. Impulses for innovation come from the established chemical industry of medium-sized and large market participants, from many user industries, from customers, from Universities and - increasingly - from newly founded enterprises and Start-ups.

Bringing together

The 1st European Chemistry Partnering invites all stakeholders, industry representatives, founders, entrepreneurs and investors to a rendezvous in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The aim is to bring together entrepreneurs, creative minds, visionaries, movers, decision-makers and financiers to engender dialogue and an ever-improving exchange with one another – across regional clusters and national boundaries.

The solution is: Get to know each other. Exchange views. Do business together!

Claudia Broggini wird Geschäftsführerin der GSASA ab 1. Januar 2017

Wir freuen uns sehr, Ihnen heute mitteilen zu dürfen, dass Claudia Broggini per 1. Januar 2017 die Stelle der Geschäftsführerin der GSASA antreten wird. Bei dieser Gelegenheit möchten wir Susanna Kussmann, die während neun Jahren diese Funktion ausgeübt hat und per Ende Jahr nun mit ihrer Familie ins Ausland zieht, für ihr sehr grosses Engagement für die GSASA ganz herzlich danken!

Claudia Broggini, gebürtige Tessinerin, ist zurzeit Chefapothekerin an der Clinica Luganese, an der sie auch weiterhin ein kleines Teilzeitpensum beibehalten wird. Nach dem Abschluss ihres Pharmaziestudiums an der ETH Zürich, wofür sie mit dem Willy Studer Preis für das beste Resultat der Schlussprüfungen ausgezeichnet wurde, hat Claudia Broggini in verschiedenen Forschungsprojekten mitgearbeitet, u.a. am HUG in Genf, am Lawinenforschungsinstitut in Davos und an der ETH Zürich. 2001 trat sie eine Stelle als Produktmanagerin in der pharmazeutischen Industrie an. Nach einer Weiterbildung EMBA, die sie berufsbegleitend absolviert hat, erhielt sie den Master in Business Administration an der Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI). Verschiedene Anstellungen als Offizin- und Spitalapothekerin führten sie nach Graubünden, ins Tessin und sogar nach Kuba.

2006 trat Claudia Broggini die Stelle als Chefapothekerin in der Clinica Luganese an. 2010 nahm sie eine einjährige Auszeit als Chefapothekerin und absolvierte das Weiterbildungsprogramm zum Fähigkeitsausweis in klinischer Pharmazie in Sion und erhielt für ihre Zertifikatsarbeit den Jean-Philippe Reymond Preis. Seit 2014 ist Claudia anerkannte Weiterbildnerin FPH in klinischer Pharmazie.
Claudia Broggini ist verheiratet und Mutter eines zweijährigen Sohnes.

Mit Claudia Broggini werden wir eine hervorragende Apothekerin und Managerin an unserer Seite haben, die mit der Spitalpharmazie und der GSASA bestens vertraut ist. Ihr Sprachtalent erfüllt auch den letzten Punkt unserer Wunschliste – sie kommuniziert fliessend in allen drei Landessprachen.

Wir freuen uns, mit Ihnen auch in Zukunft für die Förderung der öffentlichen Gesundheit zu arbeiten und wünschen Ihnen schöne Weihnachtstage und alles Gute für das neue Jahr.
