What people say about us
"swissnex Boston has been lucky to work with Massnex founder Rob Schultz as our partner in our Patient Advocacy+ series. We are honored that the swissnex model is continuing to inspire other initiatives, and we look forward to further connecting Massachusetts with Switzerland, particularly in the fields of life sciences and patient advocacy.“

"Robert Schultz assembled the founding team of Humira and the Governor of Massachusetts for a high profile event at Bentley University to talk about how we partnered with the community and aligned stakeholders to develop the world's #1 drug in Worcester, Massachusetts. Since then, he has become a Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives friend, bringing cutting-edge business development opportunities to Worcester through his global science diplomacy network. We welcome Massnex and recognize the valuable role that they play in Massachusetts and in helping foreign companies succeed.“

Former President & CEO Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives
"I've worked with Robert very closely for the better part of the last decade. He delivers on what he promises. He will never accept that patients and families continue to suffer and is a tireless fighter for patient-driven innovation, which attracted me to advise one of his past startup projects and understand that what he does is special. I have observed Robert connecting within communities like ALS, where he performs magic influencing leadership at the most important organizations to help them understand their deeper underlying responsibility to patients. We know Robert is bringing hope in the form of innovation from all over the world, and I am proud to be part of what he is doing with Massnex”
