Biel, owing to its favourable situation in transport terms, its linguistic diversity and its above average competitive company taxation, is an attractive location for national and international companies.
The city of Biel is located on the western North-South axis of Switzerland. Motorways and intercity train connections provide for a direct connection to the cities of Basle, Berne and Geneva.
The world centre of the watch-and-clock-making industry is extremely interesting not only in economic, but also in cultural and landscape terms. The lake landscape and the adjacent Jura area offer extensive local recreation facilities and a broad range of leisure options and restaurants.
