The canton Appenzell Innerrhoden lies in the heart of eastern Switzerland, in the new "golden triangle" of Zurich-Stuttgart-Munich. This unique position combines the advantages of a rural region with that of an urban centre, resulting in an attractive location for people and companies.
The business-friendly atmosphere can be found not only in the economic diversity and diligent workers of Appenzeller but also in the easy access to key authorities. The natural landscape, the culture, the tradition, the crafts, culinary specialities and Appenzeller humour are the typical characteristics of our canton. Our modern and international industry, our popularity as a tourist spot, and our beautiful mountains define who we are.
