It delivers a comprehensive portfolio of public administrative services to residents, businesses and visitors, including online counter services (residence confirmations, moving notifications, weekly registrations, parking permits), social and vocational integration programs (Fachstelle Arbeitsintegration, KIO Thun-Oberland), regional home-care (Spitex Region Thun AG), ISO 17025-accredited water/food laboratory analysis (Wasserlabor Thun), mobility infrastructure (Velostation Thun bicycle station), culture, sport and event hosting (e.g., UEFA Women's EURO 2025) and urban planning including Building Information Modeling (BIM) for municipal property management.

Product overview

Stadt Thun operates as a municipal government providing a diverse portfolio of public services and administrative functions. The offerings include core administrative services (online counter, parking, resident services), infrastructure services (Velostation bicycle parking, water laboratory), social integration programs (Fachstelle Arbeitsintegration, KIO integration center), community programs (Multipuls sports, SUKSES school support), event hosting (Women's EURO 2025), and digital services (Sports Finder portal, My Local Services app).
