Zurich/Freienbach SZ – The non-profit Hashgraph Association and Trust Square are joining forces to support innovative deep tech companies and their founders. Following the first coworking space in Zurich, more are being planned around the world, including soon in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Hashgraph Association (THA) from the canton of Schwyz and Trust Square from Zurich announce a strategic partnership. According to a press release, it will provide entrepreneurs and companies with all the necessary facilities, tools and technologies "to develop ground-breaking deep tech solutions that leverage the convergence of AI, blockchain/DLT, robotics, IoT, VR and quantum computing".
The first result of their cooperation is the opening of the Trust Square Coworking Innovation Space in the Brannhof on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse. In addition to the space, this partnership also reportedly provides cutting-edge technologies such as Hedera's DLT network, connecting companies, start-ups, technology and service providers, and joint use case discovery and validation.
Marc Degen, Co-Founder and Chairman of Trust Square, speaks of an "exciting opportunity" for start-ups and entrepreneurs in Switzerland: "Trust Square has found a kindred spirit in THA: We are both committed to bringing founders, companies, investors and academics together and enabling them to pursue their visions in an open and diverse environment."
The partners intend to establish hubs worldwide. According to Kamal Youssefi, President of the THA, the aim is to connect Switzerland with the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. "We will soon be launching our DeepTech Venture Studio in Saudi Arabia through Trust Square Riyadh, having already signed a strategic partnership with the Saudi Ministry of Investment." ce/mm
