Research & Network

Maintaining a strong network between Toolpoint members and research teams is one of our core activities. Personal contacts often lead to cross-company projects. The Toolpoint managers can also find suitable partners more readily if the needs of the individual players are known. These connections will of course be treated confidentially by Toolpoint.

The following tools are available for network building and research funding: 

Top of Toolpoint CEO Event

The CEO Event specifically promotes contact among decision-makers. The event takes place annually and presents an interesting key-note address.

Delegates Meeting

Toolpoint holds a Delegates Meeting once a year. Members can exchange information at these meetings and take advantage of the interactive segments to develop ideas and approaches for possible synergies.

Workshops

Workshops on a variety of topics complement the programme. For example, once a year Toolpoint runs the Precision Liquid Handling Workshop in collaboration with CSEM. This event brings together the international “crème de la crème” of the liquid handling community.

Toolpoint is also a co-organiser of the Laboratory Automation Symposium at OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil. At this event, industry representatives present their innovative solutions, while an academic lecture programme informs participants about the latest developments and insights in laboratory automation.
