JED, Schlieren / Zurich

We are pleased to announce the next Innosuisse Plenary, taking place on Tuesday, 3 September 2024 starting at 12:30 at the JED in Schlieren / Zurich.


Our successful work to promote Swiss innovation requires collaboration among the Innosuisse Board of Directors, the Innovation Council, the Secretariat, experts, coaches and mentors, as well as the commitment of everyone. The annual Innosuisse Plenary is an excellent opportunity to make new contacts with members of the Innosuisse community and to deepen existing ones in order to further promote cooperation.


You will get insights into Innosuisse’s activities and inspiring inputs to stimulate discussions about Swiss innovation.

The former printing centre, where the world-class newspaper NZZ was printed until 2015, is now a spectacular location for holding corporate events as the Innosuisse Plenary. The JED is the new hub for innovation and knowledge transfer. A place for collaboration and co-creation.

Your arrival by public transport

Located just outside Zurich, JED benefits from excellent transport connections. With a direct link to the Limmattalbahn station "Schlieren, Wagonsfabrik" (tram 2) and 500 metres from the "Schlieren" train station, the location is easy to reach by public transport.
