Focus on innovation

The current issue of the magazine of FRZ Flughafenregion Zürich, Wirtschaftsnetzwerk & Standortentwicklung, is entitled "Innovation" and presents forward-looking developments by its members.

The focus is on digital, sustainable and human-centered innovations, particularly with a view to the Zurich Innovation Park in Dübendorf, which is to be established as a new European hub for space research and commercial space utilization.

Future trends and high-tech valley

The Zurich airport region is increasingly becoming the center of the "new space economy". The establishment of the international space company Starlab Space in the Zurich Innovation Park will make the region a strategic location for space technology. The aim is to generate around 10,000 new jobs and an annual added value of around CHF 1.87 billion by the time the innovation park is fully developed.
