The city's link to Swiss technology is unquestioned, being located at the heart of the Swiss Watchmaking industry and all of its major players. The EFTF in particular has well-established roots in the city, having been hosted in Neuchâtel 5 times previously.

The conference venue is located only 10 minutes by foot from the Neuchâtel main station. Alternatively, a funiculaire / tram between the University of Neuchâtel and the Neuchâtel train station departs every 5 minutes (info).

» In the Neuchâtel train station, the departure platform for the tram is on the lower level, behind the escalators.
