Founders

Why we founded the Center for Space and Aviation

As founders of the Center for Space and Aviation, we are convinced that Switzerland can make an important contribution to the future of the space economy.

Activities in space are no longer science fiction, but are developing into an exciting and dynamic area for innovation, sustainability and international cooperation.

With the establishment of this Center, we want to help Swiss universities, start-ups and established companies to participate even better in this development.

We believe that the necessary progress for the future of humanity is best achieved when science, governments and business work closely together. Therefore we want this platform to promote research, technology development and partnerships that combine academic excellence with concrete benefits.

Switzerland has special prerequisites for this - such as accuracy, innovative strength and a neutral stance - which can be of particular value in a global context.

It is not just about satellites and space technology. It is about Switzerland being able to help shape new paths - in space and on earth.
