Cleantech

Great potential

The proximity to the financial centre as well as to universities and research institutions favours the establishment of cleantech companies in the city of Zurich. There is great potential for both knowledge-intensive cleantech services and technology-intensive industrial cleantech SMEs. In order to tackle the major challenges such as climate change, resource-conserving energy use or sustainable management, the economic development agency wants to make better use of the innovative power of the economy, especially from the cleantech sector.

Activities

The Economic Development Agency is involved in strategy development processes of other departments on environmental and climate-relevant topics and contributes the perspectives of the economy there (e.B. Circular Economy Strategy, Environmental Strategy).
