Autonomous mobility takes the next step in Eastern Switzerland🚕 PostBus Ltd., a subsidiary of Swiss Post, has announced “AmiGo”, a new, forward-looking public transport service that will bring autonomous, electric, on-demand vehicles to Eastern Switzerland from 2027. Starting with test runs in December 2025, “AmiGo” will gradually roll out as a flexible mobility solution connecting rural areas and regions with fewer transport links. With space for up to four passengers per vehicle, the service will combine ride pooling, sustainability, and digital convenience, all in one app-based experience. The project is being implemented in collaboration with the Chinese technology group Baidu, Inc.’s Apollo Go robotaxi service. 📰 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/exRhTixi #WhySwitzerland Switzerland Innovation Presence Switzerland swisstech Swissnex Deep Tech Nation Switzerland St.GallenBodenseeArea BaiduApollo Federal Office of Transport FOT ) Federal Roads Office FEDRO) Standortförderung St.Gallen Amt für Wirtschaft, Appenzell Innerrhoden Amt für Wirtschaft und Arbeit Appenzell Ausserrhoden Amt für Wirtschaft und Arbeit AWA Kanton Thurgau Touring Club Suisse Swiss Business Hub China Kuno Gschwend 施万德 Yang(Michael) Zhao

🌾 Fribourg – An #AgriFood powerhouse helping businesses thrive 🌱 In the seventh episode of the #FribourgGrowthHub series, Jerry Krattiger, Managing Director of the Fribourg Development Agency FDA, delves into the agrifood and export industries that are integral to Fribourg’s economy.   With the highest density of farms and food transformation industries in Switzerland, agrifood accounts for 17% of the canton’s exports.
