Arbon as a pioneer in location promotion

March 2024

At the first network event of the "Initiative Zukunft Arbon", leading minds gathered at the innovation centre of Insel auf Rädern GmbH to discuss the progress and prospects of regional location promotion. More than 60 players from various sectors exchanged views on sustainable solutions for the region, underpinned by recognition from SECO.

The “Initiative Zukunft Arbon” recently organised its first major network meeting, a gathering of innovators and decision-makers that focused on the wealth and potential of the region. Host Daniel Camen from Insel auf Rädern GmbH created an inspiring atmosphere for the exchange of ideas and visions. Mayor René Walther and SECO Ambassador Dr Eric Jakob emphasised the importance of regional networking and Arbon’s unique economic potential.

Samuel Struhs, project manager of the initiative, emphasised the importance of collective commitment. According to Struhs, the initiative thrives on the active participation and commitment of its members, who are shaping the network of the future. A cosy evening with chestnuts and mulled wine provided the perfect setting for a lively exchange and making new contacts.

Andy Suter from A.Vogel AG presented Phyto Valley, an example of successful cooperation in natural medicine that makes the Lake Constance region and Thurgau internationally visible. This cluster illustrates the strength of joint efforts and the global significance of local innovations.

The “Initiative Zukunft Arbon” stands for a dynamic community characterised by diversity and the common will to shape a prosperous future. The event confirmed the path taken and motivated those involved to actively continue and support the regional development processes.
