Technopark was the first single building to be erected on the site of the former Escher Wyss factory in West Zurich. Its website says that it, "... has been bringing people together from the fields of science, technology and economy at its 47,000 sqm site since 1993. It is the top location for technology transfer in Switzerland and a key point of contact for innovative start-ups looking to transform knowledge into marketable products and services. Around 300 companies are based in Technopark Zurich. We have a variety of rooms, offices and other spaces available, all equipped with the latest infrastructure, plus a range of Counselling and coaching services."
