Lucerne--a strong brand for a strong region: home is where your heart is, so if you're looking for the best place to work, live and enjoy life, consider all that Lucerne has to offer.

Situated in the heart of Switzerland and in the centre of Europe, Lucerne is within easy reach of many cities abroad. The Basel and Zurich Airports are one hour away, while southern Germany and northern Italy are no further than two hours. And very soon, the A4 motorway will be finished, making Zurich a mere 40 minutes away by car.

Transport connections are just one of the advantages of Lucerne. Your company location must be close to a highly qualified, multilingual workforce--your key clients--and a favourable tax climate. Lucerne has one of the country's lowest rates of taxation on holding companies, which always receive preferential taxation because they are companies that do not operate, but "hold" other companies that do. In Lucerne, these companies pay a Swiss franc for every SFr 1,000 of taxable assets.

Quality education

Today's brainpower is already shaping our future. Many international companies have chosen Lucerne and benefited from the quality of its university students. Many bright people are enrolled in the business, music, art and architecture departments at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Our hotel management schools are of worldwide renown, and in 2008, the University of Lucerne will officially open.

For many centuries, Lucerne has welcomed an international clientele, which is one of the reasons why the people of Lucerne are so open-minded and service-oriented. Most of the local inhabitants speak two or more languages--a big plus when it comes to recruiting motivated people from the local labour market.

D4 Business Center Luzern

Lucerne is where business becomes pleasure, as any one of the 750 employees at the D4 Business Center Lucerne will confirm. Only ten minutes from Lucerne, this unique campus with its own bus and train station has everything it takes to offer a balanced working environment.

With its modern office facilities, restaurant, conference and fitness centre, creche (and soon a four-star hotel), it's no wonder more than 70 companies decided to relocate to the D4 Business Center Luzern (www.D4center.ch).

While young companies go on to bloom in the TECHNOPARK, a unique business incubator (www.technoparkluzern.ch).

Availability of real estate

Not many cantons in Switzerland have real estate to offer in prime locations, for both residential and business purposes. Lucerne has some very attractive real estate only minutes from the motorways linking Stuttgart to Milan and Vienna to Paris.
