Kybora, a consulting firm based in the USA, is continuing its growth course from Basel, where it has founded Kybora GmbH and established its European headquarters according to a press release. Kybora aims to use this location to provide European life sciences companies with services in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, licensing, capital procurement, and strategic consulting.

Alan Vanderborght, Founder and CEO of Kybora, is quoted in the press release, saying: “Basel is the ideal location for our European headquarter.” He adds that the city has a “renowned pharma environment and a vibrant biotech industry” and is an ideal location right next to France and Germany, giving them “access to some of the brightest talents in these sectors”. Basel Area Business & Innovation, the location promotion and innovation support agency, helped Kybora during the relocation process.

Jean Chatellier will lead Kybora’s new European headquarters as Managing Director. He can rely on two decades of professional experience and pre-existing customers that will now be looked after from the Basel site. He further plans to arrange new, long-term partnerships with companies in Basel and across Europe.
