Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich

Büro Züri: A Hub of #Innovation and #Collaboration Located in the historic former fire station of the airfield, Büro Züri by Zürcher Kantonalbank is a vibrant space within Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich where early-stage #startups come together. With nearly 20 workspaces, a communal kitchen and meeting rooms, it fosters a unique atmosphere of shared learning and support. Startups like Sanetics AG and BTRY thrive here, benefiting from daily exchanges on everything from #patent experiences to #funding rounds. This collaborative spirit extends beyond Büro Züri into the broader campus, where connections are made over coffee, at the food truck, or during community events. Discover more about this unique location and what its atmosphere has to offer: https://lnkd.in/e8RmpyzR At Büro Züri, innovation isn't just encouraged—it's a way of life. ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences, and its Institute of Innovation & Entrepreneurship provides support through its RUNWAY Startup Incubator, an initiative of STARTUP CAMPUS Switzerland.

🚀 The European Space Agency - ESA is expanding its collaborative efforts with Swiss innovators through the newly established European Space Deep-Tech Innovation Centre (#ESDI). As part of the ESA Commercialisation Gateway and initiated together with PSI Paul Scherrer Institut, ESDI represents a critical link between ESA’s #space missions and Switzerland’s leading edge in #DeepTech #research. The new offices are located at Switzerland Innovation Park Innovaare. 💡 With its first platform, the Phi-Lab, ESDI will concentrate on developments in the areas of quantum and data sciences, along with materials research. By supporting and funding highly ambitious, interdisciplinary projects, ESDI and Phi-Lab aim to bring developments to fruition - for ESA's space research, for the benefit of its Member States, but potentially also for a wide range of industrial sector. "We plan to foster diverse teams that come together from industry, start-ups and academic research," says Jennifer Wadsworth, PhD Wadsworth, head of the Phi-Lab here in the picture with Johann Richard, Head of ESDI.   🌍 Notably, establishing ESDI is a first step for a more permanent presence of ESA in Switzerland, allowing for more direct and sustained collaboration. ESDI is supported by ESA, by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation SERI and the ETH domain. For PSI, this is a continuation of previous fruitful collaborations with ESA, including the development of the high-tech RADEM detector, which is on board ESA's current JUICE mission to Jupiter. 🛰️ Full story (in German): https://lnkd.in/d4A5nrP9

HEPHAESTUS, named after the Greek God of fire, metalworking and forging, is the newest bi-liquid rocket engine Focus Project at ARIS!🔥 With the backing of ETH Zürich eight highly committed Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT), ETH Zurich engineering students seek to develop a flight-ready ethanol/liquid-oxygen-fed rocket engine by improving upon legacy systems. To enable rapid design iterations and improvements the team will employ additive manufacturing technologies and Agile product development methods. As the 4th generation of bi-liquid rocket engine development at ARIS, the goal is to finally see a reusable pressure-fed system soar to the skies by significantly upscaling the nominal thrust and reducing as much weight as possible. 🚀 Before reaching for the heavens, many system tests will be conducted on the ground on the trailer test stand, which was inherited from project HELIOS and PERSEUS. The first iteration is already well on the way and the engine team has been busy designing a rocket nozzle, which uses regenerative and film cooling to manage the high thermal loads. 🧊 Moreover, a pintle injector has been in the works, which is particularly suitable for stable combustion and allows for a modular design appropriate for iterative prototyping. Meanwhile the propellant supply system (PSS) team has defined requirements for fuel and oxidizer flight valves. These design requirements differ from the current valves as they have thus far remained on the ground. Next steps include coming up with ways to modify existing off-the-shelf valves to make them compatible with cryogenics. ❄️ This is particularly crucial for safe operation for both the test stand as well as the rocket. Last but not least, the data acquisition & control systems (DACS) team has inventoried all existing sensors that have been inherited from previous projects. Additionally, these sensors have been prepared for recalibration. Upcoming tasks include the installation of additional environment sensors and the development of a new mission control software. 👨🏻💻 Stay tuned for more progress updates as project HEPHAESTUS pushes the boundaries of bi-liquid engine development. 💧📈 #ProjectHEPHAESTUS #hephaestus #ARIS #RocketScience #Biliquid #regeneratively #cooled #Cryogenic #ethalox #Pintle #Injector #ETHZurich #engineering ETH Hangar Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich
