    New partnership promotes regional networking in Eastern Switzerland

    The St.Gallen-based association IT rockt! and collektiv AG will be working together in future. According to a press release, IT rockt! Will move into premises in the coworking space collektiv (st.gallen). This means that IT rockt! will be “at the centre of events”, which will also enable the Eastern Switzerland IT cluster to expand its offering for members and employees. From September, IT rockt! will also be more flexible than before when organising events at collektiv (st.gallen).

    According to the press release, the collaboration between the two organisations will promote local exchange. This will promote regional networking. “We are very much looking forward to working with collektiv (st.gallen)”, Eva De Salvatore, Managing Director of IT rockt!, is quoted as saying in the press release. “The stimulating atmosphere creates ideal conditions for our IT community, and the region will benefit from such an enriching programme.”

    “It’s great to have a partner like IT rockt! at our side,” adds Majid Parente, founder and CEO of collektiv AG.

  • Start-up scene in Knonauer Amt receives support

    Start-up scene in Knonauer Amt receives support

    The Knonauer Amt location development agency supports prospective company founders from the region. Together with the Coachingplus coworking space in Affoltern and the Startzentrum Zurich cooperative, it developed the idea of offering corresponding workshops. The first one has already taken place, and follow-up events are planned.

    The first workshop met with great interest. A total of 40 participants, two-thirds of them women, dealt with the path from idea to business model under the guidance of speaker Nicolas Goetsch, the managing director of the Startzentrum Zurich. According to an article in the “Affolter Anzeiger”, Goetsch encouraged those present to use a visual planning model to deal concretely with their own business ideas, with customer profiles, customer benefits, offer sketches and revenue models. The speaker’s slides can be viewed online.

    For the follow-up date on 29 June, exchange talks are planned on the topic of challenges in setting up a business. Registrations are requested by 22 June. In addition, the location promoter offers personal advice via the Start Centre and Startbox Zurich, a digital start-up guide for setting up a business in the Canton of Zurich.

  • Lenzburg gets recyclable coworking space

    Lenzburg gets recyclable coworking space

    Project developer gutundgut has realized a coworking space on the site of the former toy factory Wisa Gloria in Lenzburg according to the principles of the circular economy. All the materials used for the approximately 400 square meters of office, meeting and creative space have already been used somewhere before, explains gutundgut in a statement on the coworking space Gloria , which was inaugurated in mid-September.

    "With Gloria we wanted to prove that it is possible to build sustainably and cost-effectively without having to compromise on quality and aesthetics," Christian Müller is quoted as saying in the statement. "The numerous, very positive responses from our guests on the opening weekend show that this was a success," says the partner and architect of the Zurich project developer.

    According to the announcement, Gloria can also shine with a pioneering achievement in sanitary facilities: a dry toilet has been installed in an office building for the first time in Switzerland. In addition to the range of jobs, the Gloria should also serve as a "feel-good and meeting place for business and culture", explains Rafael Enzler, partner of gutundgut and co-initiator of the project. "The existing gastronomy, event and cultural offerings in the former Wisa Gloria factory area offered an ideal setting for this."

  • Gioia Deucher runs the InnHub La Punt

    Gioia Deucher runs the InnHub La Punt

    In the future, the Engadin should be more than an exclusive tourist destination. The InnHub in La Punt wants to enable Swiss and foreign companies to work intensively and creatively with their employees here, on a daily or weekly basis. A mixture of sports, health and educational offers as well as ten second homes should be available for this purpose.

    According to information on the project's website, the initiators expect construction costs of 52 million Swiss francs, half of which they will raise themselves. A quarter of the costs are to be covered by the sale of apartments and parking spaces, with the remainder being financed by banks. Thanks in part to this idea of combining tourism and modern forms of work, the Engadine was voted Digi-Tal 2021/2022 last year.

    With Gioia Deucher, the innovative coworking space has now found an internationally experienced boss, as the innovation diplomat writes on her LinkedIn page . Deucher was previously Head Startup and Innovation Services at Swissnex in San Francisco and thus represented the Swiss innovation landscape in Silicon Valley. She then set up the new Swissnex office in Brazil . Deucher studied international relations at the University of Geneva and at Tufts University in the US state of Massachusetts.
