A nice place to do business, Lake Geneva area
Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The Greater Geneva-Bern Area (GGBA) economic development agency was launched in Bern yesterday 2 July in an effort to sell the economic advantages of doing business in the region in a concerted and coordinated way. The GGBA joins the separate development agencies of Bern with those of Vaud-Valais-Neuchatel and the existing cooperation between Geneva and canton Fribourg.
Biel/Bienne, Jura, Switzerland (TSR, Fre) – Canton Jura will leave the Dews (Western Switzerland Economic Development) group at the end of 2009 to join the two Basel cantons (Basel State, Basel City) for economic promotion. The canton, in a press release, expressed its disappointment at the results of its collaboration with Vaud, Valais and Neuchatel. Dews will in any event be undergoing a change, enlarging to cover the rest of French-speaking Switzerland, including Bern, Fribourg and Geneva before the end of 2009.
