<\/strong>The new site will be managed and operated by Microcity SA. A centre of excellence for diagnostics and related technologies is to be set up, serving as a hub for companies in the fields of diagnostics and automation. Part of the complex will be converted into a business centre equipped with laboratory infrastructure and offering a collaborative project environment for large companies, SMEs and start-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The acquired industrial complex is intended to further strengthen Neuch\u00e2tel’s position in the Swiss Innovation Park. The Serri\u00e8res site offers potential for the expansion of Neuch\u00e2tel’s innovation cluster and will secure an industrial location in the long term. Neuch\u00e2tel will thus expand its offering and consolidate its position as an innovation centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The purchase of the industrial complex is part of the state’s strategy to utilise old buildings for light industrial activities. This policy aims to bring start-ups, SMEs, large companies and research centres together on one site in order to meet the economic challenges facing the canton. Similar projects have already been realised at the sites Rue Jaquet-Droz 7 in Neuch\u00e2tel and H\u00f4tel-de-Ville 7 in Le Locle, which are also home to cutting-edge applied research activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The acquisition of the industrial complex in Serri\u00e8res and the planned transformation into an innovation centre are an important step for the economic development of Neuch\u00e2tel. The close cooperation between the state, the city and institutional partners will strengthen the region and create the basis for future innovations.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
