INNOVATION IN CONSTRUCTION
WHERE COLLABORATION CREATES IMPACT
Rising construction costs, scarce resources, a shortage of skilled workers, and growing demands for sustainability and digitalisation are placing significant pressure on the construction and real estate industry. What’s needed are new, holistic approaches – from the initial idea to real-world implementation.
The Switzerland Innovation Park Central association brings together start-ups, companies, and research institutions in focus areas to develop solutions for the most pressing challenges. This is where practical innovations with entrepreneurial potential emerge – collaboratively, systematically, and with a clear focus on implementation.

EXPERIENCE INNOVATION UP CLOSE
ACCESS TO DEMONSTRATORS AND LIGHTHOUSE PROJECTS
Together with our partners, we offer access to demonstrators in research facilities and lighthouse projects. This enables us to create real test environments for innovative materials, products, and services.
NEST
In the construction and energy sectors, long investment periods and strict regulations make it difficult to introduce new technologies. There is often a gap between functioning laboratory solutions and market-ready products. Empa & Eawag's research and innovation building NEST (Next Evolution in Sustainable Building Technologies) closes this gap and helps new sustainable solutions to gain a foothold in the construction industry more quickly.
