Basel, Switzerland, 8 April 2025 - On a beautiful spring evening, the Luminance Health team gathered with friends, partners, and esteemed guests to celebrate the expansion of services of Luminance Health at the Spring Apéro. The atmosphere was one of excitement and optimism as familiar faces and new acquaintances came together to witness the dawn of a new era in the journey of Luminance Health.

The event began with warm words of welcome, setting the stage for an inspiring evening of connection and celebration. An engaging opening speech, delivered by Dr. Christoph Kloepper, CEO of Basel Area, highlighted the significance of Luminance Health's mission and its impact on the Basel region's life sciences landscape, emphasizing the importance of innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth.

A Vision for Sustainable Growth

Luminance Health’s founder, Shayesteh Fürst-Ladani, took the stage to share the vision that sparked the creation of the company. Despite stepping down from their previous venture just last year, Shayesteh and Walter’s passion for building something lasting and impactful led them to establish Luminance Health. Shayesteh shared their commitment to sustainable growth and meaningful impact in the life sciences sector, expressing the desire to build something that would thrive long-term, even in their absence.

Their decision to craft a business model centered on team ownership and entrepreneurship reflects a forward-thinking approach. At Luminance Health, team members are not just employees; they are owners and partners, contributing to a shared mission of bringing innovative medicines to patients through trusted and enduring partnerships. This model prioritizes long-term success over short-term gains, focusing on meaningful contributions to the Basel region and the global life science community.

Celebrating Partnerships and Progress

The evening also marked a celebration of the strong partnerships Luminance Health has already forged. Reflecting on the importance of trust and collaboration, Shayesteh spoke passionately about the need for enduring alliances in an often-uncertain world, expressing hope that current global uncertainties would serve to strengthen bonds rather than break them.

In just one month, the team at Luminance Health has accomplished remarkable milestones: the establishment of a robust Quality Management System (QMS), successful completion of a Swissmedic inspection, the launch of a new website, and the unveiling of a significant presence at Basel Airport through targeted advertisements. Additionally, a senior advisory board is set to be announced at the end of April, solidifying the company's commitment to excellence and strategic growth.

Looking Ahead with Optimism

Shayesteh took a moment to honor the team behind these achievements, inviting them to the stage amidst applause. It was a powerful reminder of the collective effort and shared vision that drive Luminance Health forward.

The Luminance Health Spring Apero was more than just a launch event—it was a celebration of vision, resilience, and community. With its bold mission and committed team, Luminance Health is poised to make a lasting impact in the life sciences field, driven by a belief that excellence is not just an act, but an attitude.

As the evening drew to a close, there was a palpable sense of optimism and unity in the room, a fitting beginning for a company dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in life sciences.
