2.6 billion in value from Zurich Innovation Park<\/h1>\n

A study by BAK Economics predicts that the operation of the IPZ will create 14,000 new jobs between D\u00fcbendorf and the Limmat, with a turnover of nine figures<\/em><\/h3>\n

The Zurich Innovation Park Foundation commissioned the independent Swiss economic research institute BAK Economics, with offices in Basel, Manno and, of course, on the banks of the Limmat, to study the economic significance of the new infrastructure for the region in which it is located, the Canton of Zurich and Switzerland as a whole.
\nThe analysts came up with impressive figures: they estimated the direct and indirect added value of the facility alone at full capacity at about 2.5 billion Swiss francs per year.
\nBAK Economics’ study is the first comprehensive analysis of the IPZ’s potential. The study, entitled “The Economic Significance of Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich”, also examines the role of Switzerland and the Canton of Zurich as a location in international innovation competition.<\/p>\n

Four thousand additional jobs in the supply chain<\/h3>\n

The Zurich Innovation Park could create 10,000 new jobs directly, while another 4,000 positions would be generated in the immediate vicinity of the technology park.
\nResearchers show that although the city’s area on the banks of the Limmat has above-average added value compared to the rest of the Swiss Confederation, it still has a lot of catching up to do, especially in the high-tech sector.<\/p>\n

Innovation and technological progress are recognized as the most important drivers of growth and prosperity. From the perspective of researchers, it is therefore worthwhile for the Zurich region to strengthen these areas by creating more favorable framework conditions.<\/p>\n

Research clusters embody future trends<\/h3>\n

According to BAK Economics, the IPZ’s benchmark clusters, defined in English in the study “Robotics and Mobility, Aerospace and Production Technologies,” also correspond to the most important global technology trends. Looking at patent development, for example, these incubators have shown above-average dynamism in just the last two decades.<\/p>\n

The Canton of Zurich stands out as an excellent and internationally leading university location, which also scores highly on most location factors.
\nWith the realization of the Zurich Innovation Park, the existing ecosystem can be significantly enhanced and purposefully used to strengthen Switzerland’s most populous city as a knowledge and research capital. Experts therefore attach strategic importance to the on-site establishment of the IPZ.<\/p>\n

Positive effects for regional industry as well<\/h3>\n

The potential direct and indirect economic effects of the IPZ are considerable. Depending on the activity and the number of companies that will locate there, about 10,000 new jobs will be created directly and another 4,000 through the induced mechanism, which will generate additional tax revenues of several tens of millions of francs for the cantonal and municipal administrations.<\/p>\n
