December 2024

The 103rd immoTable Zug brought together leading minds to discuss economic growth, sustainable urban development and innovative projects. Visionary approaches and concrete solutions demonstrated the diverse opportunities and challenges that characterise the Zug region.

Mayor André Wicki opened the event with an inspiring look at the economic future of the city of Zug. Under the motto “Zug remains Zug – liveable, visionary, vibrant”, he emphasised the challenges associated with sustainable growth, affordable housing and climate protection. His visions emphasise the aspiration to further develop Zug as an innovative and attractive place to live and do business.

Sustainable strategies and economic success
Beat Bachmann presented the “Spirit of Zug” long-term strategy, which strikes a balance between growth and resource consumption. Regional cooperation and attractive conditions for companies will strengthen the region as a leading business location. The innovation platforms, such as HSLU and the Tech Cluster Zug, promote technological advances in areas such as energy, mobility and decarbonisation.

Successful projects for modern living and commerce
Lukas Fehr presented the award-winning “Papieri Cham” project. The neighbourhood combines historical substance with modern new buildings, sustainable architecture and green open spaces. With around 1,000 flats and 40,000 square metres of commercial space, the Papieri site sets new standards for sustainable living and working.

Material innovation in timber construction
Pius Kneubühler spoke about the advantages of board stack constructions made with Swiss timber and minimal glue. This technology promotes sustainable cascade utilisation and combines high load-bearing capacity with an excellent carbon footprint. Material identity is at the centre of sustainable construction.

Water treatment and infrastructure safety
André Spathelf rounded off the event with a comparison of the Swiss market leaders in water treatment. He emphasised the importance of a proactive approach to monitoring and maintaining water networks. This approach ensures the quality and sustainability of vital infrastructure.
