The ETH spin-off MESH is bringing fresh momentum to the construction industry: through the automated processing and assembly of reinforcement steel, the company enables new design freedom and more efficient construction processes. Its proprietary software translates digital designs directly into robotic production – from one-off creations to serial manufacturing.
At the Circular Building UnConference, the brightest minds in the construction industry come together to exchange ideas on current trends, innovative projects, and forward-looking concepts. The event serves as a platform for networking and collective reflection – with the goal of translating circular economy approaches into practice. At its core are visionary lighthouse projects that demonstrate how circular construction is becoming a reality.
Solarstream is driving the digitalization of the solar industry with an intelligent software solution that automates key processes for solar installers – from quotation to commissioning. Through integrations with leading industry platforms and AI-powered project management, the system sets new standards for efficiency, transparency, and scalability in the rapidly growing solar market.
Samouver is developing a scalable mobility concept through the targeted use of intelligent automation technologies. The automated rail shuttle system copes with tourist and seasonal traffic peaks and thus strengthens public transport. In heavily frequented regions, it contributes to a sustainable, data-based mobility shift - efficient, flexible and future-oriented.
AllianzOne is the first construction project in Switzerland to implement a new, integrated process and multi-party contract. What began as a research initiative within the focus area is now showing tangible impact: through early collaboration, shared goals, and collective responsibility, the project achieves more efficient workflows, improved planning reliability, and greater trust – all while reducing costs. These principles are key success factors for realizing the complex construction projects of the future.
Switzerland Innovation Park Central is an association for companies, start-ups, universities and public institutions working together on the future of the construction and mobility industry.
