After extensive research and planning, MYK has identified the canton of Neuchâtel as the ideal location for its headquarters.
The canton of Neuchâtel is renowned as the historic centre of the Swiss watchmaking industry. With its strong base in high precision engineering and a culture of promoting technological innovation, in the past 20 years Neuchâtel has become a centre for micro/nano-technology, biomedical technology, IT engineering, optics and clean technology. Many research and development institutions and over 9,000 high-tech companies (many of them international) are now based in the region, making Neuchâtel one of the most industrialised cantons in the country.
The main sectors of activity include
- Watchmaking
- Jewellery and luxury goods
- Machine tools and high precision measuring equipment
- Micromechanics and nanotechnologies
- Mechatronics
- Information and communication technologies
- Medical devices
- Pharmaceutical products
- Clean technologies
- Industrial headquarters
MYK’s Head Office is now based at Rue du Trésor 9, 2000 Neuchâtel.
We are very grateful to the Office de Promotion économique du canton de Neuchâtel for providing extensive support throughout the decision-making process.
