In 2024, Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich (represented by Ralph Rosenbauer) had the privilege of supporting and co-organizing 10 Zurich Hardware Meetups in collaboration with Rayan Armani. Six of these events took place on our campus in the Event Hangar. The meetups covered a diverse range of topics, from #MedTech, #3DPrinting, #Drones, to #HeavyConstructionMachinery. One of the unique aspects of this series is the variety of venues: Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich, Bluelion Incubator, ZHdK Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, ETH Feasibility Lab, and ETH Student Project House. This diversity not only introduced participants to exciting new locations but also helped our community grow with each event. We’re proud to have grown our community to over 500 members within one year! Other aspects that makes this event unique is the "Open Mic" slots open to anyone who wants to share more about their work, ideas and aspirations, the food and drinks afterwards leading to useful networking. A particular highlight was our event at the Immersive Art Lab of ZHDK, where the fascinating intersection of hardware, art, and culture was explored. Throughout the year, pressing sustainability issues were also addressed and integrated into various discussions across our hardware meetup series. To wrap up the year, we treated ourselves to a bit of relaxation: after Nikolai Knopp ’s insightful talk on preserving vintage computer hardware, participants enjoyed playing classic computer games on historical machines, provided by Retro Game Level 1-1.

Let’s continue to innovate and grow together in 2025.
