On August 27, a workshop will take place at the Digital Society Initiative (DSI), offering an opportunity to present project ideas and explore their potential implementation within the framework of the City of Zurich’s Innovation Credit.
The Innovation Credit is a funding instrument established by the City of Zurich to support innovative ideas at a low-threshold level. It aims to enable the rapid and straightforward realization of promising concepts. Through iterative testing, the city administration can learn from practical experience and scale successful projects – all in pursuit of a more sustainable Zurich.
To stimulate new ideas, the DSI and “Smart City Zurich” are organizing this workshop for the third time. The event provides a platform for initiating new projects in collaboration with representatives from the city administration and exploring possible support mechanisms. Several DSI faculty members have already successfully developed project ideas that were later supported by the Innovation Credit.
Projects aligned with the Zurich 2040 Strategy are of particular interest. The strategy outlines four areas of action along with corresponding goals and dimensions. It provides a framework adopted by the City Council to guide Zurich’s development in the coming years and to address its key challenges.
Further information on the Zurich 2040 Strategy is available here. Short summaries are provided in both English and German.
The workshop will take place on Wednesday, August 27, from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. at the DSI. Registration is required via: info@dsi.uzh.ch
