PARK innovAARE

PARK innovAARE represents a cutting-edge innovation ecosystem strategically positioned adjacent to the renowned Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland's largest research center for natural and engineering sciences. This proximity enables direct access to PSI's world-class accelerator-based research infrastructure, creating an unparalleled environment for technological advancement. The park serves as a catalyst for transforming scientific breakthroughs into commercial applications across several frontier sectors including photonics, quantum technologies, advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, life sciences, and sustainable energy solutions.

At its core, PARK innovAARE operates with a mission to provide comprehensive support for both emerging startups and established companies relocating to the innovation hub. The park has developed a highly specialized acceleration program designed to address the unique challenges of deep-tech ventures, offering tailored resources that evolve in response to changing market dynamics and company requirements. This adaptive approach significantly reduces time-to-market for complex innovations, allowing resident companies to rapidly convert research investments and technological developments into commercially viable products and services.

Companies establishing operations at PARK innovAARE gain privileged access to PSI's exceptional research facilities, including the Swiss Light Source, Swiss Spallation Neutron Source, and Swiss Free Electron Laser. This infrastructure access represents a competitive advantage worth millions in research capabilities that would otherwise be unavailable to private enterprises. Additionally, resident companies can collaborate with PSI's community of over 2,000 scientists, researchers, and engineers, tapping into specialized expertise across multiple disciplines and accelerating their R&D efforts through knowledge exchange and collaborative projects.

Beyond the immediate PSI connection, PARK innovAARE has cultivated an extensive international network encompassing research institutions, universities, industry partners, and knowledge transfer platforms. This ecosystem facilitates cross-border innovation partnerships and provides pathways to global markets for the technologies developed within the park. The strategic location in Switzerland's "Innovation Valley" – the region between Zurich and Basel – further enhances these networking opportunities, positioning resident companies within one of Europe's most dynamic innovation corridors with access to venture capital, specialized talent pools, and industry clusters in pharmaceuticals, medtech, and advanced manufacturing.
