It’s not just the topics of business model innovation and the digitalization of processes that concern a wide range of companies. Our regular impulse events are your source of inspiration. They offer fresh ideas, share practical experiences and provide concrete recommendations for action that you can implement directly in your everyday business.
To ensure that your business innovation not only remains theoretical, but is also implemented interactively and inspiringly, the Switzerland Innovation Park East is creating a dynamic workshop room specifically for the topic of business innovation. In this creative environment, you will work together with our experts on your specific challenges and develop tailor-made solutions based on practical examples.
The Switzerland Innovation Park East uses the existing strengths and offerings of its research partners HSG , OST and Empa in the areas of digitalization and sustainability.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) does not necessarily lead to job losses. Rather, companies benefit from competition if they can use AI skillfully. It is therefore very important that you and your employees have the know-how to actively and effectively integrate AI into your work processes.
After the Basic Workshop: Artificial Intelligence, the members of your team will be able to transfer their existing and newly acquired knowledge of artificial intelligence to specific use cases in their own company.
The challenges of digitalization, automation and circular economy lie the hidden opportunities for sustainable business innovations.
