The alpine technology
location of Uri
Uri is located on Europe’s central north-south axis and connects the economic areas of Zurich, central Switzerland, Ticino and northern Italy. Nestled in a high-alpine topography with 37 cable cars and seven ski areas and around 38,000 inhabitants, the canton has an exceptional density of alpine infrastructure. These framework conditions have created a specialist industry environment over the years.
Cableway technology, slope management, rock engineering, environmental technology and alpine logistics form a strong economic niche with nationally and internationally active companies. Practical relevance, technological competence and entrepreneurial dynamism come together here.
The Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis ski area is the largest winter sports area in the Gotthard region and an ideal platform for product testing in the industry.
Why Uri?
The high concentration of alpine technology companies is the result of clear location advantages. Uri offers a business-friendly environment with short decision-making processes, high planning certainty and efficient cooperation between business and authorities. The central location on the Gotthard axis guarantees quick access to all parts of the country as well as to neighbouring markets. At the same time, the location impresses with its competitive cost environment, available development areas and reliable implementation of investment projects. With the “Werkmatt Uri” area near Altdorf cantonal train station, 21 building plots covering around 120,000 m² are currently available for industry, commerce and services. The immediate proximity to the train station and the motorway creates optimal logistical conditions. The fact that Kässbohrer Switzerland, among others, has set up its headquarters here underlines the quality of the location in the area of alpine technologies. Uri not only offers alpine expertise, but also the structural requirements for sustainable growth – at the centre of a strong alpine technology cluster.
