    Fabian Streiff becomes Head of the Office for Economic Affairs – Hans Rupp Head of the Office for Employment

    In the coming years, the economic challenges will continue to increase. Competition among locations is intensifying, while the world of work is changing rapidly. The digital transformation, more flexible and location-independent working models, as well as the labour shortage pose major challenges for companies, the labour market and the entire economy. In order to be prepared for these in the best possible way, the existing economic and labour market policy competences in the currently broadly structured Office of Economic Affairs and Labour (AWA) will be strengthened organisationally. Therefore, at the request of the Department of Economic Affairs, the Government Council decided last year to transfer the AWA into two independent offices as of 1 January 2024: an Office for Economic Affairs (AWI) and an Office for Labour (AFA).

    The AWI will be responsible for location promotion, economic policy, work permits, working conditions, housing promotion and national economic supply. The AFA will be responsible for the labour market, unemployment insurance and the unemployment fund.

    Hans Rupp with many years of operational and strategic leadership
    Hans Rupp will be the new head of the Labour Office. After studying at the University of Zurich, the 57-year-old gained professional experience in various organisations and companies. Most recently he was managing director of building and housing cooperatives and in the real estate sector. In addition to these operational tasks, Hans Rupp has held various mandates in the area of strategic management. He has many years of experience in operational and strategic management. Among other degrees, Hans Rupp holds an Executive MBA from the University of Zurich.

    Fabian Streiff: From Head of Location Promotion to Head of the Office of Economic Affairs
    Dr. Fabian Streiff will be Head of the Office of Economic Affairs. After completing his studies in geography and economics at the University of Zurich, the 39-year-old first worked as a consultant in the fields of strategy development, sustainability issues and economic promotion before earning his doctorate in economic geography and regional development at the University of Bern. He then headed up location promotion in Basel-Stadt before becoming Director of Healthcare Innovation / DayOne at BaselArea.swiss. Since December 2020, Dr Fabian Streiff has been head of location promotion for the Canton of Zurich at the Office of Economic Affairs and Employment.

    Dr Fabian Streiff and Hans Rupp will take up their posts on 1 January 2024.

  • Zurich airport region – digitization and development

    Zurich airport region – digitization and development

    [smartslider3 slider=”9″]

    The event was moderated by Monika Schärer, who confidently guided the guests through the afternoon. After a brief welcome, Arun Banovi, owner of immo!nvest/immoTable, and Christoph Lang, managing director of FRZ Flughafenregion Zürich, were briefly asked about the economic region and the connection with immo!nvest.

    In addition, Fabian Streiff from the Zurich Business Development Agency gave the first presentation and presented the region in more detail. From this it emerged that the canton of Zurich is a globally significant hub for artificial intelligence (AI). He also introduced us to the innovation hubs in the Zurich airport region, including the Digital Health Center (Bülach), The Circle (Kloten) and the Zurich Innovation Park (Dübenorf).

    As the second speaker, Hans Egloff, President of HEV Switzerland, brought us closer to the topic of digitization in the real estate industry. Using various examples, he explained the opportunities and risks of digitization. For example, the AHV number serves as a personal identifier in the electronic land register and this entails a large group of authorized users and thus a large potential for misuse.

    Before the break, Tindaro Milone, Head of Large Plants, presented the EKZ and explained what is currently happening in the energy sector. For example, the scarcity of resources, climate change, politics and customer needs. He then presented the future of energy, it is mainly about decarbonization, digitization and decentralization. Of course, sustainability is also a topic that is very topical and will continue to occupy you in the future. He completed his presentation on the subject of electricity storage.

    After the first part of the program there was a break that was used for the first talks. There were also cool drinks, refreshing fruits and delicious cakes.

    This was followed by Dadvan Yousuf, who introduced us to his platform “Dohrnii”, where everyone can easily learn about cryptocurrencies in a playful way. The presentation also included the Dohrnii Markplace, the DHN Token and the Dohrnii DAO. Finally, he made the connection and opportunities between cryptocurrencies and the real estate industry.

    Then Christoph Axmann, Chartered Surveyor MRICS at Wüest Partner, came on stage. With overviews of the population and employment development, he showed the demand in the Glattal-Furttal region. Then he showed which offer can be used to cover inquiries. Below that are investments, quantities, supply in relation to inventory and prices. Finally, he showed the development potential in the airport region.

    The last speaker was René Götz from the business development department of the city of Bülach. He introduced the business location Bülach, showed the positioning, spoke about the goals and available development areas. The key sectors of the region, the space requirements of companies and the Digital Health Center Bülach were also included in the presentation.

    The crowning glory was the exciting panel discussion with Doris Meier (Mayor of Bassersdorf), Christoph Lang (Managing Director of the FRZ Zurich Airport Region), Fabian Streiff (Local Promotion Canton of Zurich) and Heinz Eberhard (Eberhard companies).

    During the aperitif with delicious appetizers and ice cream, there was a lot of networking. The atmosphere was very good and relaxed. Especially when the draw for the competition was due. You could win a trip to the Top of Europe – Jungfrau Joch with overnight stay and dinner for 2 people. This great prize was sponsored by eSMart, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. Monika Schärer made it exciting and presented the award to the delighted winner Markus Nussbaum.

    We would like to take this opportunity to thank all guests and speakers for the exciting afternoon. A big thank you also goes to the Eventalm for the great and flexible organization, the friendly service and the delicious treats. But we don’t want to forget our partners either, without you such an event would not have been possible! Thanks to EKZ, eternit, eSMART, Seitzmeir, Sunrise, SVIT Zurich, Rigips, PropTechMarket, Woonig and FRZ.

    We hope to see some of you in Lausanne on October 6th and in Basel on November 24th. Until then, we wish you a nice summer!
