Zähringer town between medical technology and the Emmental

Burgdorf lies at the entrance to the Emmental and combines the tradition of a historic Zähringer town with modern entrepreneurship and academic innovation. The city of around 17,300 residents has developed in recent years into a noteworthy innovation and education location through the arrival of Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) and the continuous growth of Ypsomed, giving it significance beyond its size.

The direct rail connection to Bern in under 15 minutes, proximity to the Bernese Oberland centre of Thun, the location on the main axis into the Emmental and good motorway access make Burgdorf an attractive place to live and work. The historic old town with its striking castle, one of Switzerland's best-preserved Zähringer castles, gives the city an identity and quality of life that also attracts companies and skilled workers from the Bern area.

Ypsomed, BFH campus and the healthcare cluster

Ypsomed, the listed medical technology company, has its headquarters in Burgdorf and is the region's most important private employer. Ypsomed develops and produces injection and infusion systems for self-medication, including insulin pens, autoinjectors and infusion pumps. Ypsomed is a globally active company with several hundred employees at the Burgdorf site. Ypsomed's growth generates a local supply chain and attracts medical technology specialists.

Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) has a campus in Burgdorf with departments for architecture, wood and construction as well as mechanical engineering. This campus generates knowledge transfer, research partnerships and brings students and lecturers into the city. Emmental Regional Hospital with its Burgdorf site is another important healthcare employer. Various craft and trade businesses, joineries, metal construction firms as well as IT and technology companies complete the economic profile of the Emmental capital.

University of applied sciences as an innovation driver

For suppliers to the medical technology industry, providers of laboratory supplies, cleanroom technology, healthcare IT solutions and quality management systems, Burgdorf is a relevant target region because of Ypsomed. Providers of architecture software, BIM solutions and construction technology also find a growing market through the BFH campus.

Burgdorf has developed into an independent business location at the gates of Bern. BFH regularly organises transfer events where researchers and local entrepreneurs meet. This is a good contact point for providers of technical services. The entire Emmental, from Kirchberg via Oberburg to Langnau, can be reached through Burgdorf, while the industrial location of Langenthal in the nearby Oberaargau expands the catchment area towards Olten.

Burgdorf's business culture combines Emmental tradition with the spirit of innovation that BFH and Ypsomed bring to the city. Quality and personal reliability come first. Local contacts can be initiated at BFH transfer events and in Burgdorf's business network. The influx of skilled workers from the Bern area brings new impulses.
