Perspective from Urs Iten, CIO Geistlich Pharma AG

The isolutions Digital Hub Barcelona offers strategic advantages for companies that go far beyond traditional nearshoring arguments:

  • Access to top talent
    Barcelona attracts highly skilled digital and tech professionals from across Europe – a strong advantage in the Swiss talent market.
  • A multicultural, inspiring environment
    International teams bring fresh perspectives and drive innovation and quality.
  • Fast and flexible scaling
    Roles can be filled significantly faster than in Switzerland – ideal for projects that require speed.
  • Swiss setup without local hurdles
    Contracts and collaboration run directly through isolutions in Switzerland – with no Spanish legal or administrative overhead.
  • Modern office in a central location
    A professional, well-equipped workspace ensures productive collaboration.
  • No need for your own local entity
    Immediate access to a ready-to-go hub – with an optional BOT model if needed.
