Weitwinkel GmbH

What Weitwinkel GmbH does

Weitwinkel GmbH is a privately held Swiss spatial planning and regional development consultancy headquartered in Thun, Canton of Bern. Founded in 2010 (with roots in predecessor Alpgis AG established in 2011) and recently rebranded at the end of 2024 from Alpgis Raumentwicklung GmbH, the firm operates with a 6-person interdisciplinary team delivering consulting services across five integrated practice areas: Raum und Nutzung (Spatial Development), Mobilität (Mobility Planning), Landschaft und Umwelt (Landscape and Environmental Planning), Regionalentwicklung und Tourismus (Regional Development and Tourism), and Management und Koordination (Management and Coordination). Service delivery spans zoning plan revisions, agglomeration programs, mobility concepts, public transport service planning, mountain-bike infrastructure planning, ecological networking, tourism strategies, and overall project coordination for Swiss government clients at municipal, cantonal, and federal levels.

The firm derives revenue exclusively from professional services engagements won through direct public-sector engagement and Swiss public procurement processes, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are heavily concentrated in Swiss public administration, including municipalities, cantonal governments (notably Bern, Valais, and Ticino), and regional development organizations such as Entwicklungsraum Thun (ERT) and Regionalkonferenz Emmental. Long-term anchor engagements include the leadership of ERT's Fachbereich Raum- und Regionalentwicklung since 2014, recurring RGSK and agglomeration program cycles, and projects embedded in the federal Neue Regionalpolitik (NRP) funding framework. The firm partners with complementary engineering, urban planning, legal, and academic entities (e.g., INFRAS, Metron, CSD Ingenieure, Bikeplan AG, Hochschule Luzern, Büro Dr. Roland Luder) to deliver multidisciplinary project teams, but holds no proprietary technology, patents, AI/ML capabilities, or external funding; it is founder/team-owned with no institutional investors or parent company disclosed.
