With its stability, prosperity, and high quality of life, Switzerland has become a global hub for innovation. And Zurich, as the country’s economic and financial center, is leading the charge when it comes to developing sustainable technologies and practices.

Two of Switzerland’s most prestigious universities - ETH Zurich and University of Zurich - have campuses right in the city. Their world-class research in environmental science, renewable energy, and cleantech catalyzes entrepreneurship and new ventures focused on sustainability.

For example, the Energy Science Center at ETH Zurich conducts pioneering research on sustainable energy systems. This has led to spin-offs like Climeworks, which develops technology to capture CO2 from the air. The University of Zurich's Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth also does important research on sustainable finance and responsible investing.

With the support of these research institutions and availability of funding, Zurich has a thriving ecosystem of startups developing innovative sustainability solutions. A vibrant VC scene also supports green entrepreneurs, with firms like Susi Partners investing specifically in sustainability.

At the municipal level, Zurich has implemented policies and programs to promote sustainability and carbon neutrality. For example, the 2000-Watt Society initiative set ambitious goals to improve energy efficiency and reduce resource consumption. Zurich also provides financial incentives for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and sustainable construction through the Energy Support Programme.

Major multinational corporations headquartered in Zurich have also prioritized sustainability - both through comprehensive internal programs and participation in the city's innovation ecosystem.

For example, ABB has ambitious renewable energy and electric vehicle charging goals and also sponsors the ABB Technology Ventures investment arm that funds cleantech startups. UBS has its global UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute in Zurich to embed ESG factors into all operations.

With its research leadership, thriving startups, government policies, and corporate initiatives, Zurich has established itself as a global hub for sustainability innovation. The city offers an excellent ecosystem for developing the technologies and solutions needed to build a greener future.
