HDW Campus – 6,000 m² of Inspiration and Innovation

The House of Business (HDW), together with the upcoming H2 building opening in 2028, is redefining the future of events in the Basel region. What was once a traditional conference centre is evolving into a state-of-the-art campus spanning over 6,000 m², designed to inspire, connect, and transform.

This dynamic hub is more than a venue – it is a platform for collaboration, where business, science, culture, and public institutions converge to exchange ideas, spark innovation, and shape the future.

H2 – A New Standard for Large-Scale Events

The crown jewel of the campus, the H2 building, adds 3,500 m² of world-class event space. At its heart lies a multifunctional congress hall that can host over 1,900 guests in plenary seating – a truly spectacular setting for:

• International congresses and high-profile conferences

• Trade fairs and exhibitions

• Corporate conventions and large-scale meetings

• Prestigious cultural and public events

Every detail is designed for flexibility, comfort, and impact, combining cutting-edge technology with architectural elegance to create an unforgettable experience for organisers and participants alike.

A Campus That Inspires Connections

With the combination of the existing HDW facilities and the new H2 building, the campus becomes a magnet for innovation, offering a seamless environment for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. It is the ideal stage for turning big ideas into meaningful action, whether for global summits, cross-industry forums, or visionary corporate events.
