Preferred location for specialised tasks

Two figures illustrate the important role of the economy here: Baden has 23,642 inhabitants and around 30,000 employees. The largest employers are ABB, Ansaldo, Axpo, General Electric, Hitachi Energy and the cantonal hospital. In conjunction with the large number of SMEs and other companies in the region, they form an unique type of international high-tech cluster. Ninety percent of the companies located here have fewer than 20 employees. An above-average proportion of the workforce is highly qualified.

The perfect place for smaller and bigger businesses

Baden’s business hub has grown by over 500 companies or approximately 20% since 2007. In what was once an industrial city, forward-looking focal points have emerged in the fields of high-tech energy, industry-oriented ICT, medical technology and healthcare. Some 9,000 jobs are concentrated in the production of high-precision electronic devices and precision mechanical components, with another 4,000 in R&D, IT and commercial services, and around 5,000 positions in the healthcare sector. Thanks to its thermal springs – which have the highest mineral content in Switzerland – the wellness sector has also developed highly specialised offers and career opportunities.
