We all deal with food on a daily basis. Nutrition has always been a key issue, but in recent years it has become even more important as the food system with its traditional methods reaches its limits. Not only a growing population, but also global warming, dwindling land resources and changing consumer needs are contributing to future challenges.
Within the food industry and along the entire agro-food value chain, there is a diverse mix of traditional and young, large and small companies in the canton of Zurich. Agricultural businesses, locally producing companies and a lively gastronomic scene contribute to the strong mix, as does a dense network of retailers and innovative small businesses. Also worthy of note are the many young spinoffs that have emerged from universities in recent years, contributing to a dynamic, fast-growing ecosystem around universities. Universities are thus important drivers of innovation and make a significant contribution to the talent pool.
With a focus on the Zurich agro-foodtech scene, Swiss Food Research was commissioned to conduct an analysis. The three-part study aims to gain a better understanding of what strengths, weaknesses and challenges exist in the food sector in the canton of Zurich. In particular, topics such as location attractiveness and other relevant factors, such as networking and innovation opportunities, were addressed.
