Five location projects compete for award

Bauma ZH, August 2023

Bauma ZH - Die Schweizerische Vereinigung für Standortmanagement hat fünf innovative Projekte aus der Standort- und Wirtschaftsförderung für ihre SVSM Awards 2023 nominiert. Dieser Preis will Vielfalt, Qualität und Innovationskraft der Standortförderer aus dem ganzen Land sichtbar machen.

The Swiss Association for Location Management(SVSM) has announced the five nominees for its SVSM Awards 2023. From Basel to Uri to Bad Ragaz, a total of twelve applications were received, according to a media release from the umbrella organisation.

The awards are intended to make the innovative strength of projects from all over the country visible. According to the organisers, since 2007 these awards have been “not only a reward but also an incentive for actors in location management and economic promotion”. Small initiatives are considered just as much as large ones. They can be local or national in scope.

This year’s nominees are the Innovation Sandbox for Artificial Intelligence of the Standortförderung Kanton Zürich, the new HSG Learning Center SQUARE of the HSG Foundation and Light Ragaz AG’s Light and Water World. Other contenders for the prize are the Echt regional platform of Standortförderung Zürioberland and the intercantonal daycare subsidies project of WirtschaftsPortalOst.

In mid-September, these five organisations will present their projects to a jury. The award ceremony will take place on 16 November as part of the hybrid SVSM Dialog Wirtschaftsförderung conference in Olten ZH. One person will also be honoured there as location manager of the year.
