The Technopark Alliance supports this initiative as a strategic step to diversify international engagement beyond obvious markets like the EU or U.S. This initiative provides an opportunity for startup to enter to the Chinese market with the support of knowledgeable Swiss partners to make safe steps in the world’s largest economy. China, and in particular Zhejiang Province, is rapidly emerging as a global innovation powerhouse with strong capabilities in AI, medtech, robotics, and sustainable technologies—sectors that closely match Swiss strengths. By fostering direct ties with local governments, science parks, and investors in Zhejiang, the initiative creates new pathways for Swiss startups to scale internationally, develop joint ventures, and tap into one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing tech ecosystems.
The Technopark Alliance has teamed up with Succeed Consulting and Venturelab for this intitiative. At the same time, the collaboration is designed with a politically balanced and pragmatic approach. Supported by Switzerland Global Enterprise (SGE) and the Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), it focuses on business-led, innovation-driven exchange, minimizing political exposure while maximizing value for Swiss companies. The initiative is an opportunity for the Technopark Alliance to offer a high-quality, long-term platform for startups to explore Asia and strengthen Switzerland’s global innovation footprint.
