Magazine In Graubünden
Relocate successfully
One of the main reasons for choosing Graubünden was the globally recognised “Swiss Made” label. The further afield you sell, the more important Swiss origin becomes, particularly for high technology products.

From site search to start of operations
Key considerations and the relocation process
Whether a location is right for a company depends on a range of factors. In addition to suitable industrial and commercial premises, these may include accessibility, the availability of skilled labour, infrastructure, development opportunities and the wider economic environment. The relative importance of these criteria varies by project and is refined step by step during the site assessment.
The five phases illustrate one possible relocation journey - from initial orientation to the start of operations - and show the questions and decisions that typically take priority at each stage.
Growing together
Once a company has successfully established operations, the next phase of development often begins. Graubünden supports businesses with expansion, investment and entry into new markets.
