The activities of ULI Switzerland have so far concentrated mainly on the Zurich metropolitan region. However, with the appointment of Emanuel von Graffenried as Local Chair Romandie, Western Switzerland – in particular the regions of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg – will increasingly become the focus of the network from 1 January 2022. In particular, the topic of upcoming urban developments based on current ecological and social issues and challenges is highly relevant and receives attention in the activities, events and programmes of ULI Switzerland.

In Switzerland, it includes over 100 leading real estate players from the private and public sectors. They represent all disciplines of the Swiss commercial and residential real estate market. With the support of the office in Frankfurt am Main, ULI Switzerland offers its members a wide range of events and programmes to promote the further development and optimisation of urban spaces.

Since its inception in 2014, ULI Switzerland has successfully hosted 50 events with more than 1,500 participants, including various formats such as roundtables, breakfasts, summer dinners and site tours.

In addition, the Young Leaders of ULI Switzerland have been offering a mentoring programme since summer 2020, which enables young professionals to benefit from the experience of renowned senior executives in small groups. The programme is thus taking place for the third time this year and we are looking forward to the interactive and cross-generational exchange!
