Due to objections raised by potential neighbors, the plans proposed by Inventx were initially put on standby. However, the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland ultimately dismissed the complaints. Gregor Stücheli, the owner of Inventx, expects construction work to get underway before the end of this year.

“We are delighted that the project can now finally be realized to breathe new life into these unused city center areas”, explains mayor Urs Marti (FDP) in the press release, before adding: “In addition, the project strengthens Chur as a business location over the long term and therefore also the positioning of the city as an attractive ICT location”.

Access to talent

Are you looking for a location with a broad and diverse availability of highly-qualified employees? Access to highly skilled talent and specialists is one of the most important success factors for companies and plays a key role in location decisions. According to the INSEAD Global Talent Competitiveness Index 2020 and the IMD World Talent Ranking 2020, Switzerland, particularly the Greater Zurich Area, is the world's most appealing location for attracting, retaining and developing talent. This is thanks to key factors like the excellent Swiss education system, the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons with the European Union, the country’s cosmopolitan attitude, attractive conditions for employees and employers, social mobility and the high quality of life.
