Quick connections, quick decisions

Companies in Schaffhausen benefit from easy access to local authorities and network partners.

Networks and support

The Economic Promotion agency of Canton Schaffhausen helps new and established businesses navigate relocations, expansions, new projects, and challenges. For questions about permitting, taxes, regulatory topics, or markets, for help looking for office or production space, if you're on the hunt for new talent or need to navigate immigration processes to relocate key roles... we can help with it all. With 25 years' experience in the region, we're also closely networked with industry clusters and academic partners, and we're eager to help Schaffhausen businesses make the connections they need.



As a smaller canton, Schaffhausen's government is close to the people. When you need to talk to a decision-maker at the municipal and cantonal level, we help you reach the right person quickly.

"The authorities here and the Economic Development team are always flexible, interested in finding a practicable solution and very keen to work in partnership with us."

Markus Hoefler, CEO Brauerei Falken AG
