Innovation Zurich

What an inspiring day at Innovate Mobility & Infrastructure last month! 🚀 A huge thank you to our 160+ guests, our brilliant speakers, our moderator Thomas Hug-Di Lena, and all our fantastic exhibitors. The discussions on the future of mobility and sustainable infrastructure were truly engaging. It's critical in planning and designing future mobility concepts and more liveable cities that we also look into the transport infrastructure. The speakers, exhibitors, and demonstrations explored way that infrastructure can be built and maintained with innovation for a more sustainable future. We also extend our gratitude to our co-organizers ZHAW School of Engineering and Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich, as well as to Innovation Zurich for their support. You can find the available presentations from the speakers on the event website: https://lnkd.in/dDrUTV-2 Here’s a quick glimpse of the action! ⬇️

The visit underscored the ties between Baden-Württemberg and Kanton Zürich, two innovation-driven regions that combine world-class research, industry, and infrastructure. Roundtable discussions on the New Space Economy with partners such as Airbus Defence and Space, Thales Alenia Space, APCO Technologies SA, Beyond Gravity, and Starlab highlighted new opportunities for European collaboration in space technology and commercial innovation. 🤖 AI + Environment Summit Zurich The week continued with the AI + Environment Summit Zurich, held in the ETH Hangar at SIPZ, where researchers, startups, and policymakers explored how AI can be used to protect, not pressure, our planet. From biodiversity monitoring and sustainable agriculture to renewable-energy forecasting and circular economy applications, participants demonstrated how AI is helping to accelerate a climate-resilient and more just future. 🌍 One Ecosystem, Many Futures Together, these events reflect the Switzerland Innovation Parks’ mission: connecting science, industry, and entrepreneurship to tackle global challenges, whether in space exploration or sustainability on Earth. #SwitzerlandInnovation #WhySwitzerland ETH AI Center, ETH Sustainability, ETH RAUM - The Platform for Sustainable Spatial Development, Zurich AI Festival, UZH Innovation Hub, Greater Zurich Area, Innovation Zurich, University of Stuttgart, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), The University of Freiburg, Center for Space and Aviation Switzerland and Liechtenstein🇨🇭🇱🇮 (CSA), ArianeGroup, German Aerospace Center (DLR) 📸: Switzerland innovation Park Zurich (Ralph Rosenbauer)
