To this end, we offer both local companies and those interested in relocating to Muttenz a platform for networking, dialogue and further development. We make new things possible by bringing together important players from business and education, the public and the population and creating an environment in Muttenz in which companies and their employees feel comfortable. We utilise existing potential, for example by expanding infrastructure and strengthening the local economic ecosystem."

The founding board and its motivation for Muttenz as a business location:
Franziska Stadelmann (Mayor of Muttenz):
"We want to actively manage Muttenz as a business location and utilise the great existing potential."
Dr Alain Bai (Vice-President of the Municipality of Muttenz):
"The municipality thrives on a diverse economy. From SMEs to global corporations, we want to give something back to the economy and promote it so that we don't lose out in the intense regional competition."
Dr Felix Hanisch (Site Manager Bayer CropScience Schweiz AG):
"With over 275 employees at the Muttenz site, we depend on a good environment. We are also committed to the Muttenz site in order to strengthen access to qualified labour."
Tamara Hersperger (Member of the Management Board of Alltech AG):
"As a training company with many trainees, we are dependent on access to young talent. We are happy to support the initiative with the aim of further promoting the construction industry."
Beat Huesler (President of the Muttenz SME Association):
"In my many years as President of KMU Muttenz, I have repeatedly noticed that large companies have no contact person. I hope that the hybrid form of WiFöM will provide short and fast routes with active support."
Jörg Salzmann (Head of BLKB):
"I want to give something back to the community where I live and contribute to making Muttenz an even more attractive place to live, so that ultimately every resident benefits."
