Location and economic development

We have been advising and supporting the public and private sectors on regional economic and location policy issues for over 40 years.

Our focus:

  • Providing advice and practical support to cantons, regions, cities and municipalities in the development and implementation of location development concepts and strategies, specific relocation projects and other economic development tasks. René Goetz leads the economic development of the town of Bülach.
  • Supporting municipal and cantonal offices as well as federal agencies in conceptual issues relating to economic development, in the development of business-friendly administration and in the optimal alignment of the various policy areas (e.g. regional development policy, transport policy, fiscal and investment policy) to strengthen the economic location. Peder Plaz leads the Graubünden Economic Forum think tank, which is active in this area.
  • Carrying out analyses on topics relating to location development and improving the relevant framework conditions for the Swiss economy as a basis for the economic justification of political initiatives and investment projects at municipal, cantonal and federal level.
  • Providing operational project management as well as management support (e.g. external controlling, communication) for the public sector in the realisation and monitoring of economic development activities and complex projects in the infrastructure sector and in regional development.
  • Supporting property developers in assessing the development potential, possible uses and positioning of sites and properties at regional, national and international level.
