Data and analytics consultancy in Basel

Basel sits in Canton of Basel-Stadt, with an economy built on pharmaceuticals and biotech, chemicals and process industry, and retail and commercial banking. We deliver Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure work here remote-first, with on-site workshops at the points where being in the room changes the outcome, and we publish three local analyses rather than claiming an office we do not occupy.

Basel analyses

Three local analyses

Each one takes the local sector mix seriously: the metrics that break here, the architecture those industries need, and the regulatory obligations that apply.
Local economy

The local economy

Basel is a pharmaceutical city, which means GxP data integrity expectations frame almost every analytics project: attributable, contemporaneous and reproducible records are a baseline requirement rather than a nice-to-have. The tri-border location with Germany and France also makes cross-jurisdiction employment and data-transfer questions routine.

The University of Basel and nearby institutions supply life-sciences and data talent, with pharmaceutical employers setting the salary benchmark.

Economic anchors

  • one of the world's most important pharmaceutical clusters
  • chemicals and life-sciences research
  • Rhine port and tri-border logistics
  • international banking supervision institutions

Where the clients sit

  • the city centre
  • the Rosental and Klybeck pharmaceutical quarters
  • Dreispitz
  • the Rhine port area

How buying works here

Eight to twenty weeks.

Relationship-led but heavily documented, with supplier due diligence that goes further than anywhere else in our markets, particularly in banking and pharmaceuticals.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Fachstelle, the business owner
  2. IT security, with a questionnaire and frequently an architecture review
  3. Datenschutz, against the revFADP rather than an EU-shaped pack
  4. Einkauf for commercial terms
  5. Outsourcing or risk committee, in regulated financial services
  6. Geschäftsleitung, for anything touching client-identifying data

Have ready

  • Handelsregisterauszug, current commercial register extract
  • Betreibungsregisterauszug, a debt enforcement register extract, requested more often than people expect
  • Insurance certificates including professional indemnity, in CHF cover levels
  • Data processing agreement drafted against the revFADP, not a translated EU template
  • Security questionnaire, frequently the client's own rather than a standard

Contract language: German, French or Italian depending on the canton; English is common in banking, pharmaceuticals and international groups.

Next step

Analytics work in Basel

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what pharmaceuticals and biotech and chemicals and process industry data looks like. We will tell you what we would build, in what order, and roughly what it costs.

How this usually runs here
A technical call, then a written Offerte. Regulated buyers will ask for an outsourcing assessment and a tested exit plan early.
