The Valais undisputedly offers one of the most beautiful Industrial sites in Western Europe. Many hi-tech companies have settled down there, in the heart of the Alps, for the convenience of a reliable electrical supply and the abundant and cheap land. Businesses ranging from fine chemicals to protein based pharmaceuticals all the way through precision mechanics and artificial intelligence are to be found for the unsurpassed quality of life and highly trained, polyglot workforce.
