  • The shell of the QUBO think tank is complete

    The shell of the QUBO think tank is complete

    The shell of the two interconnected buildings of QUBO in Sarnen North is complete. Sixteen months have passed since the groundbreaking ceremony. According to a media release from Obwaldner Kantonalbank(OKB), this think tank will offer established companies, innovative start-ups and co-workers space for meetings and interactive inspiration.

    OKB is constructing a new building there that will provide a new home for innovative companies in Obwalden. The bank will make most of the premises in the new building available to the Startup Pilatus association for the promotion of start-ups as early as October 2023. OKB itself will set up an Innovation Lab there for itself and others. Eberli AG is modernising and expanding its existing headquarters there. Its two conversion and expansion partners, werkunion ag and Orfida Treuhand + Revisions AG, will each occupy one floor as future co-owners of the building.

    The QUBO will have the QULT bistro on the ground floor and the QLUB room for events with up to 100 people. The OKB describes the official opening, planned for March 2024, as an “important milestone for Sarnen as a business location and for entrepreneurs in the region”.

  • Regional 2025 celebrates halftime

    Regional 2025 celebrates halftime

    The Regionale 2025 celebrated its fifth anniversary with a celebration on the banks of the Limmat in Neuenhof AG. According to the announcement, the Regionale 2025 association was founded in 2015 and is supported by 16 Limmattal municipalities and cities as well as the cantons of Aargau and Zurich. It is intended to strengthen the identity of the Limmat Valley. To this end, 29 different projects are to be implemented by 2025.

    More than 100 invited guests took part in the celebration with an aperitif and a musical performance from the water. The focus of the celebration on September 9, the fifth anniversary of the association's start-up, was the exchange of all those involved across borders. For the previous president Brigitta Johner it was a farewell. She resigns from office after six years. "For a livable and lovable Limmat valley" was the motto of the FDP politician, it says in the message. The former canton councilor was bid farewell with speeches of thanks by Roland Kuster, Wettinger mayor and former vice-president of the Regionale 2025, the managing director Peter Wolf, the mayor of the host community, Martin Uebelhart, as well as two digital greetings from the two cantons. They came from government councilors Markus Dieth (Aargau) and Martin Neukom (Zurich).

    Halfway through, the next five years were also looked at. First there will be an interim show from May to October 2022. The projects nominated for the final project show will be presented there. Further projects will then be completed by 2025. The conclusion of the work of the Regionale 2025 culminates in a large project show at which all projects and processes in the region are presented to the public.
