Welcome to Launchspace, the home of the Swiss Labor Market Innovation Association and the Training and Innovation Center of the Graduate School of Applied Technology & Management. We're not talking about the future here. This is where it's being built.
Two spacious rooms, measuring 187 and 141 square meters, transform into whatever the day requires: a stage for impactful presentations, a workshop for prototypes, and a command center for the AI Business Simulation. VR headsets, 3D printers, and our own AI Gallery ensure that technology is tangible here and doesn't just exist on slides.
And then there's the Coffee Lounge. The place for conversations between sessions—where the best ideas, new projects, and genuine connections so often take shape. A personal host is always there to take care of all the organisational details for you, so you can keep your focus where it belongs: on yourself and your next step.
