Technopark Zürich is a technopark based in the municipality of Zürich in the Canton of Zürich in Switzerland.
Technopark Zürich was established in 1993 as a top location for technology transfer in Switzerland and a key point of contact for innovative start-ups looking to transform knowledge into marketable products and services. The founders planned to provide rooms, offices and other spaces, equipped with the latest infrastructure, and to house a stimulating environment for people from various branches, disciplines, universities, research institutes, start-ups and established enterprises.
Technopark Zürich is managed as a privately funded foundation, and the property landlords are Swiss Life and Zürcher Kantonalbank. It also houses the Technopark Academy which provides a training programme for start-ups and emerging companies. It acts jointly with the Swiss government and various trade associations to increase the competitiveness of the Swiss economy and to create enduring jobs.
