Tech&Ethics II: Navigating Innovation and Integrity in Life Sciences

Building on the success of Tech&Ethics: Shaping Digital Integrity in 2024, Swissnex in China is proud to announce the next chapter of this initiative which aims to increase Switzerland’s knowledge and competencies on China.

Last year’s program brought together five Swiss researchers with leading Chinese experts to address key issues in AI ethics and governance. This initiative, through a carefully curated program, fostered a valuable exchange of ideas between two innovation powerhouses.

In 2025, our focus shifts to the intersection of ethics and life sciences, exploring how cutting-edge advancements in biotechnology, genetics, and health innovations impact societal values and governance frameworks.

This upcoming program in September will dive deep into ethical questions in life sciences. Through workshops, company visits, and intercultural dialogues designed to spark collaboration and meaningful impact, we will address the following questions:

  • What frameworks ensure that breakthroughs in medicine, genetics, and biotechnologies align with human dignity and equity?
  • How do we balance technological innovation with public trust?
  • How do art and creative practices influence bioethics and public perceptions of life sciences?

Get in touch to learn more and participate in this important dialogue.

Are you at the forefront of ethical research in life sciences or eager to join the conversation? Swissnex in China invites researchers, innovators, cultural practitioners and thought leaders based in Switzerland to connect and contribute to shaping the future of ethics in technology with their peers in China.
