«As Director of Economic Affairs, attracting both long-standing family businesses and start-ups to Uri is a matter very close to my heart. This is what motivates both myself and my team of experienced, dedicated professionals on a daily basis. Before my election to cantonal government in 2012, I myself was proprietor of a home automation SME and therefore have first-hand experience of the joys and challenges that being an entrepreneur brings. I very much hope that you too will see the benefits of our lovely canton as a business location.»
