Switzerland is being transformed in order to achieve the goals of energy, climate, circular economy and densification. The finishing and building envelope industry and its professions are crucial to this and are making the building stock fit. With a turnover of 36 billion, it is the strongest sector in the construction industry. Bauenschweiz’s core group for the finishing trade and building envelope would like to focus on this at the opening. This is exemplified by the completely renovated Globus Basel property, which will open at the end of 2025. In addition to a look at the project, guests will discuss the importance of the finishing trade, the further development of skilled workers and the needs of entrepreneurs and young professionals in the market.
