The Biopôle is a Swiss science park and incubator destined to host companies whose main activity is in the field of Life sciences. Located in Épalinges, near Lausanne, it belongs to the Park Network West EPFL, or "Romandy hub" of the Swiss Innovation Park. The institution offers space for industrial research and development or administrative use: while it is open to all therapeutic areas, its main focus is on developing innovative solutions in the fields of oncology, immunology and personalised medicine.[1] Several start-up as well as multinational research laboratories are located on its premises.

The Biopole's 80,000 m2 of constructed and expanding premises are close to the University Hospital, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and University of Lausanne. It is 97.5% owned by the Canton of Vaud, who declared it is as a "hyperstrategic".[1][2]

Biopole SA was established in 2004 as a limited company by the public authorities of the Canton of Vaud, who remain the major shareholders.[3] In November 2005, the company presented its shareholders with the development plan of the site: work began in 2007 on the first Biopôle building, and at the end of 2008 the first tenants moved in.[4] The park went through a major upheaval in 2013[5][6] before electing a new management and starting new ventures and partnerships. In 2015 it announced a major investment from the Ludwig Cancer Research aimed at increasing its focus on immunotherapy, with new building scheduled for completion in 2018.[7]

Notable companies on site

The Park is composed of several zones covering both administrative and research activities:[8] the core administrative buildings, as well as research laboratories and office buildings. About 50 different companies and startups are established on site.[9]
