Innovation

Innovation is what drives our sustainable management and together with the associated processes is an integral part within Swiss Prime Site's corporate and sustainability strategy. This enables us to implement innovation as an overarching, integrated principle across all our business fields. We therefore work together with highly motivated start-ups and creative entrepreneurs. Together, we are intensifying our innovation processes and are driving forward pioneering technologies and business models.

In order to offer our clients sustainable and innovative products and services with the greatest possible added value, we rely on an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and the creativity of our employees in every phase of the real estate life cycle. On the basis of a group-wide anchored information and issue management, innovation processes are driven forward and the innovative strength of Swiss Prime Site is increased. We are convinced that innovation can only succeed with a holistic view of the entire real estate lifecycle. As such, our goal is to break down the traditional innovation silos in the real estate sector and integrate innovative technologies along the entire value chain. Sustainability is key and must be seen as an overarching innovation goal.

As part of our Startup Accelerator Programme, we promote collaborations with innovative young companies with whom we drive forward new concepts, scalable business models and technological solutions with a primary focus on the B2B sector. Our contribution to this:

• We offer start-ups direct access to the real estate sector and the real estate environment.
• We act as a sparring partner and contribute technical skills, financial resources as well as a wide-reaching network.
• We provide versatile test environments and platforms.
• To ensure optimal market and customer access, we make our ecosystem available. 

The Future Board is the innovation panel of the Swiss Prime Site Group and facilitates the operational implementation of group-wide innovation activities on the basis of our sustainability goals. The interdisciplinary committee brings together experts from Swiss Prime Site and the Group companies.
