Industrienacht Regio Liestal (Industry Night)
After two successful events in the Basel region, the Industry Night is now taking place in the greater Liestal area for the first time. This evening event allows the general public a journey into the worlds of various industries and businesses. More than 30 businesses in the five municipalities of Liestal, Bubendorf, Itingen, Sissach, and Thürnen will be offering exclusive insights behind the scenes throughout the evening. The program is as diverse as the region itself. Participants will be able to gain an insight into various industries, including a manufacturer of transformers weighing several tons, the producer of those famous micro-batteries that keep our wristwatches running, a cleaning company, a car body shop, a joinery, a nursery, a waste disposal center, a lighting company, kitchen builders, wine merchants, and metalworkers. With Ikea in Itingen, one of the largest warehouses in Switzerland shows its inner workings. Meanwhile, life sciences can be experienced at Bachem, Carbogen Amcis, and CIS Biopharma in Bubendorf. And at the Hanro site, you will be able to delve deep into the history of the region—where the legendary Hanro underwear was still produced on a large scale until the end of the 1990s.
With tours, workshops, and talks on offer, everyone is invited on a playful and interactive exploration tour. One ticket connects all locations, and shuttle buses ensure smooth transportation from location to location. Tasty snacks and drinks are also available on site for the hungry and thirsty.
Check the website to view the full program of the over 200 different offers. You will be able to individually filter and compile your program according to interest, language, and format. Create your own list of favorites with a personal route that can then be shared with friends and printed out at home. Would you like to take part in a workshop, a guided tour, or a talk? Or would you prefer to explore the companies at your own pace in exhibitions, films, or at information stands? You decide!
This event is for everyone—for youths looking for insights into potential career paths, for adults looking for a new field or challenge, for family with kids that want to learn about how things work, or for the simply curious! Many of the offers are language independent or are also available in English and/or French!
