Bridging the gap between science and industry and offering support to new companies are two of the main areas of interest of the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) in cooperation with the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag), and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL).

Our vision is to use the business incubator to spark innovation in the forward-looking areas of science of international interest, thereby ensuring the on-going creation of jobs and supporting the recruitment of international firms in the interests of the economy of the Zurich area.
