The aim of the KW walzmühle project is to offer a new commercial hub for the city of Glarus, allowing local producers & suppliers to gather in a centralised environment where each could benefit from the experience and networks of each other. The goal is to introduce a variety of co- working spaces, showrooms as well as storage facilities that could enable national and international investors and distributors to come and meet in person with a broader range of small to me- dium-scale producers in order to facilitate the export of locally produced goods across the rest of the country as well as beyond our borders. The importance of the local economy and locally sourced productions is becoming a critical part of fair trade poli- cies as well as the development of suburban regions that develop products further away from economic centres such as Zurich. The goal of the project is to offer, on one side, spaces for collaboration and exchange, and on the other side, a training and joint platform from which small-scale producers could advertise and showcase their products by sharing resources, marketing tools and services offered by the cooperative of Walzmühle. The idea is to reinforce the stance of smaller-scale entities and offer them a collaborative platform to boost their respective industries and give them a place to flourish.
