Tour suggestion by Willi Näf
We’re truly spoilt for choice this Industrienacht! I’ll probably be on the C-line shuttle because there are various things on that route that I’m interested in. Depending on how it goes, I might also make a detour and see two great events on the B-line shuttle.

I can finally enjoy the Industry night myself - the last two times I was in Münchenstein at my employer VITO in production as a guide for the industry night.
Plan your personal discovery tour
Choose from more than 160 programme items that can be experienced at this year's Industry Night Regio Basel.

To start, I’ll visit Blaser Architekten: the holistic approach taken by planners at 24 Austrasse is fascinating. I’m impressed by the comprehensive approach to project development, covering everything from the utilisation of space to construction issues, including acquiring work permits.

My family and I have been coming to Industrienacht for as long as it’s existed – and every year, I find it thrilling. Industrienacht is much more than just a public event for Basel. It’s a platform for exchange, networking, and inspiration.
Tour suggestion by Peter Hartmann
I’m really looking forward to the Industrienacht Regio Basel. The map of company locations shows that they follow a strip running north to south over around eleven kilometres. My tour begins in the south, in Reinach, and ends in Basel.

Our tour begins in the depths of Kleinbasel, where mustard and mayonnaise were once produced for the whole of Switzerland - on the site of the former Thomy Franck factory. Today, a creative place for the circular economy and dance is being created here.
