October 29, 2024, Switzerland – In a step towards fostering sustainable industry partnerships, representatives from SwissCham Asia and Singularity Academy, led by Dr. Urs Lustenberger and Prof. Dr. Ying Zhang, joined a delegation from the Bhutanese embassy to Switzerland, led by Ambassador Tenzin Wangchuk, accompanied by his associates, Mr. Passang Dorji and Mr. Kuenzang Dorji.


The delegation visited the headquarters of Kuratle Group, a leading timber enterprise in Europe, located in Leibstadt, Switzerland.


The event brought together prominent figures from the Kuratle Group, including Chairman Mr. George Kuratle, CEO Mr. Roger Kuratle, Chief Legal Officer Benno Studer, and Marketing and QMS Director Ms. Silvia Furlan. The meeting was structured around presentations by both the Kuratle Group and the Bhutanese delegation, each offering unique insights into the timber industry’s current trends and challenges in their respective countries.


Ambassador Wangchuk conveyed the warm greetings of Bhutan’s Prime Minister and extended an invitation for Kuratle Group, SwissCham Asia, and Singularity Academy to visit Bhutan. He highlighted Bhutan’s unique position as a carbon-negative country and the opportunity for the Swiss delegation to engage in Bhutan’s Mindfulness City, an initiative aimed at advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and environmental sustainability.


The visit concluded with a tour of Kuratle Group’s production facilities and a working lunch, strengthening bonds between the two nations and opening avenues for future collaboration in sustainable development and environmental initiatives.
