Ypsomed is investing a total of around CHF 15 million in the construction project. The contract for the planning and realisation of the project was awarded to phalt Architekten AG with its office in Solothurn.

We have created over 400 new jobs in Solothurn in the last ten years and want to continue to grow. We are also investing here because we receive optimal support from the city. We want to give something back to the city and the people of Solothurn with the forum,

says Simon, CEO of Ypsomed, explaining this decision.

The site of the Ypsomed Forum is located at the junction of Grenchenstrasse and Ziegelmattstrasse, opposite the new main entrance to the existing Ypsomed company building. The new building will have five floors. A reception area and an auditorium will be available for public events. A two-level car park will provide ample parking space for 80 cars and 80 bicycles. The area between the buildings is to be transformed into a green meeting zone, creating a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.

Both as Mayor of Solothurn and as a resident of the neighbourhood, she is looking forward to the conference centre and the associated upgrading of the district, said Stefanie Ingold. Ypsomed has established a "knowledge centre" in Solothurn. The investment in new product developments attracts specialists who want to work on innovative and forward-looking projects.  

Ypsomed is a leading manufacturer of infusion and injection systems for the administration of liquid medication. Over eight million people with chronic conditions worldwide benefit from the products that Ypsomed manufactures in Solothurn, Burgdorf and Schwerin in northern Germany.
