Promotion économique du canton du Jura

What Promotion économique du canton du Jura does

Promotion économique du Canton du Jura is the official cantonal government economic promotion agency for the Canton of Jura in Switzerland, operating as a public sector entity under the Canton du Jura government. The agency functions as a single-window ('Guichet unique') point of contact that supports businesses across the full lifecycle — from exploration and business creation through development and expansion — providing streamlined access to administrative procedures, permits, financing guidance, tax advisory, workforce recruitment support, real estate solutions, and innovation and technology transfer services. It also runs the annual RDV ÉCO conference series as a flagship program for entrepreneurship and innovation, and operates the specialized Nouvelle Entreprise Innovante (NEI) program targeting innovative startups.

Its core service portfolio is delivered through a multilingual digital platform at eco.jura.ch, accessible in French, English, and German, supplemented by direct advisory services and event-based engagement. The agency's technology is described as a government economic development website platform providing digital services to businesses; no proprietary AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or integrations are disclosed. The platform organizes services into structured user journeys ('J'explore', 'Je crée mon entreprise', 'Je me développe', 'J'ai besoin de locaux') covering sector information, legal status selection, real estate, recruitment, financing, fiscal matters, and intellectual property.

The business model is non-commercial: services are provided free of charge as a government agency supporting economic development in the Canton of Jura, funded through the cantonal administrative structure rather than customer revenue. The go-to-market motion relies on the multilingual website, email newsletter, social media presence (#cantondujura), trade event participation (e.g., EPHJ), and the annual RDV ÉCO conference. Strategic partnerships with Basel Area, Swiss Innovation Park Basel Area, Jura Trois-Lacs, and Creapole extend its reach across the broader Swiss economic region.
