TZW Technologiezentrum Witterswil AG

Witterswil Technology Center (TZW)

Concept

The Witterswil Technology Center (TZW) is an important center for innovation and technology located in the Leimental region of Solothurn. It has a long tradition of research and development, having originally emerged from the Novartis agrobiological research station. Following structural changes in the chemical industry in the greater Basel area and the emergence of the cross-border "BioValley," the demand for modern laboratory and office space remains high.

The TZW aims to contribute to this growth by supporting start-ups and spin-offs in the life sciences sector in particular. It offers these companies modern and affordable infrastructure that is available to them during their start-up phase. In addition to the physical infrastructure, the companies based there benefit from an open transfer of know-how and accompanying support. Through these offerings, the TZW aims to establish itself as an attractive location for modern technologies and create a green center for innovation.

Location

The Witterswil Technology Center has excellent transport links. The tram stop is only a five-minute walk away, and tram line 10 connects the center with Basel SBB train station in around 30 minutes, via Therwil, Oberwil, Bottmingen, and Binningen. The TZW is also attractive for commuters from the Alsace Jura region: the nearby municipality of Leymen can be reached in just five minutes via the D23.
