    Freiburg under the sign of the building sector and energy efficiency

    The Fribourg construction sector is part of the bioeconomy, one of the two axes of the canton’s economic strategy. It is proving to be very robust and is prepared for the major upheavals that will result from the challenges of climate change, resource scarcity and digital progress.

    “Whether in the fields of wood construction, metal construction, concrete, plastics, civil engineering or energy efficiency, Fribourg companies enjoy an excellent reputation throughout the country and beyond thanks to their know-how,” says a delighted Olivier Curty, Director of Economic Affairs and Vocational Training for the Canton of Fribourg.

    The players in the sector are supported in their projects and activities in particular by the Building Innovation Cluster, which plays an important role in dynamising the sector, and by the Smart Living Lab, the leading centre of excellence for the future of the built environment. Jerry Krattiger, Director of the Fribourg Economic Development Agency (WIF): “The environment is favourable for the development of partnerships and innovative projects. The framework conditions are excellent, the skills and the will are there… we just have to use them to shape our future!
