Changes due to Covid-19

COVID-19

The importance of the pharmaceutical industry will increase and we believe that essential medicinal products will once again be produced in Switzerland in order to minimise dependence on other countries. This means that the need for specialists will increase in laboratories, in production and in research and development.

As a result, Manpower will increase its investment in the training and career development of these specialists so we can counteract a possible shortage of specialists and provide clients with the best possible advice.

The ramifications of Covid-19 will have a significant global and national effect. The impact on implementation of digital solutions in healthcare and innovations by Swiss companies is huge. Swiss medical technology companies are pulling out all the stops with care robots, virtual doctor’s surgeries and symptom checks on smartphones. Switzerland is playing a pioneering role and helping young companies with digitalisation and internationalisation. New and exciting trends and possibilities are emerging, as well as opportunities for talented people.

Exports by Swiss companies from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries amount to 39 per cent¹ and the pharmaceutical industry accounts for more than a quarter of Swiss industrial added value².
