Our Values and Uniqueness

Patients First
We value all stakeholders but give priority to patients.
We conduct our business with the patients’ well-being in mind. Integrity, honesty, loyalty, and trust form the foundation on which we build our company and future success. All our investments, entrepreneurs, partners, and therapies always put the patients first.

Self-Sufficient Model
Swiss Rockets is designed to be self-sufficient, just like large pharmaceutical groups. Still, with one crucial difference:
We empower people to be entrepreneurs and enable them to benefit long term from their inventions. We are proud to be part of each project in our innovation hub. We want our entrepreneurs to feel motivated to invent the best possible cures for patients around the world.

Active Involvement
We have a rigorous selection process when choosing new technologies because we invest money, time, and infrastructure into each project.
Companies that decide to work with us are getting more than just an investor; we actively participate in the drug development process and share our entrepreneurial experience, expertise, and infrastructure to ensure that the process from idea to commercialization is as efficient as possible.

Our Most Important Stakeholders Are the Patients
All of our projects, investments, and partnerships focus on serving cancer patients and providing for their long-term well-being.
Portfolio
Our portfolio of businesses includes internal projects, spin-off companies, joint ventures with startup companies, and distribution partnerships. A well-diversified portfolio is essential for us to mitigate the risks of individual investments. We focus our efforts on the following industry sectors:
Generic Cancer
Drugs

Most cancer patients rely on the availability of generic oncology medication. We want to make products with exceptional Swiss quality available to patients in countries that currently suffer from supply shortages or high prices.
Targeted Cancer
Therapies

Targeted cancer therapies are drugs that are designed to block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecular targets that are involved in the growth, metabolism, progression, and metastasis of cancer cells. Unlike conventional cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, which targets healthy and cancer cells at the same time, targeted therapies are designed to address specific molecular mutations within cancer cells.
Cancer Immuno
Therapies

Cancer immunotherapy stimulates the immune system to fight cancer. We are pursuing new approaches that are designed to cure more patients with fewer side effects.
Personalized
Cancer Therapies

Personalized cancer therapy is a treatment strategy that predicts which patients are more likely to respond to specific cancer therapies. This approach uses specific tumor biomarkers that predict therapy response. We use the sequencing of tumor DNA to reveal genomic alterations and develop perzonalized therapies for treatment-resistant cancers.
Cancer
Prevention

We could prevent a significant number of cancer deaths by avoiding risk factors such as tobacco, overweight, an insufficient diet, physical inactivity, alcohol, sexually transmitted infections, and air pollution. We are developing gene-editing techniques and drugs that may serve as preventative measures.
Innovative MedTech
Devices & Distribution

Drug development is a lengthy and costly process. We have identified several fully approved products that are in the market and can immediately generate returns for our investors while providing us with additional funding to continue our breakthrough drug development efforts.
What Makes Us Different
Creating breakthrough drugs and technologies to fight cancer is a very time-consuming business. We seek investors who, like us, are in it for the long haul.
