About the .BASEL new gTLD
Located near where the borders of Switzerland, Germany and France meet, the Swiss city of Basel represents an important region of Europe. More than 800,000 people live in this tri-national region, making the area a major commercial center. The pharmaceutical and chemical sectors play critical roles in the city's economy, in addition to the robust banking and technology sectors.
But business isn't Basel's only focus. Because of its geographic position, the city draws from three different cultures. While the city's primary language is German, it is also home to a local variant called Basel German. In other areas, French is the language of choice. Additionally, the city is home to the world's oldest publicly accessible art collection, the Museum of Fine Arts, and Basel is a frequent host to political exhibitions, and other sites of interest.
The Basel City Council's Mission
The Basel City Council's mission is to create a location on the Internet where individuals, organizations and businesses involved in Basel can announce their connection to the region.
