AI Quick Summary

We’re excited to welcome the Ascento team back to the Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich! They first joined us in 2023 as part of the Büro Züri programme by Zürcher Kantonalbank – back then still in their early startup phase with an office in the Park’s former fire station. Since then, a lot has happened: Ascento has launched the Ascento Guard, an innovative security robot combining wheels and legs to patrol even challenging terrain. Now they are back – this time with their own test area on-site to run long-term trials. In addition, their robots will also be patrolling our outdoor premises – a perfect real-world use case to gain valuable operational experience. Our Park is evolving into a thriving robotics hub, with many exciting players working side by side and testing new technologies in practice. The vast grounds of the former airport are the ideal setting – not only for robotics, but also for autonomous driving trials. A warm welcome back to the community, Ascento – we’re looking forward to the next chapters of your success story! 🚀 Photographs: Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich, Ralph Rosenbauer
