The ideal coworking space for startups and companies in Zurich

The Novu Campus sets new standards in the coworking scene and offers the perfect environment for startups and companies of all sizes on an impressive area of 4000 m². This modernly designed work space is more than just an office — it is a place where innovation, collaboration and business meet at the highest level. With five technologically well-equipped meeting rooms and a spacious event space for up to 240 people, the Novu Campus creates ideal conditions for productive meetings, workshops and events. A publicly accessible coffee bar completes the offer and offers space for informal discussions and networking in the community.

“With purpose as the basis for our project, we have set ourselves decisive guidelines which remind us time and time again what our intrinsic motivation is. Falk Stefani, co-founder.”


However, the special feature of the Novu Campus lies not only in the size and equipment, but also in the well-thought-out structure of the project, which was developed together with various partners. Each of these partners brings deep knowledge and extensive expertise to their field to ensure that the needs of all users, startups and companies, are met at the highest level. The result is a perfectly coordinated environment that promotes innovative working methods while providing a wide range of coworking and meeting services. From technological solutions to design concepts to specialized host services — on the Novu Campus, real experts are on hand to help startups and companies move forward.


A particular highlight of the Novu Campus is its strategic location at Zurich Airport. This excellent connection offers startups and their business partners quick and easy accessibility — both for international customers and colleagues as well as for local visitors. The location not only makes travel easier, but also signals professionalism and a strong international orientation. The location of the Novu Campus is an invaluable advantage, especially for companies that operate globally or frequently receive business partners from abroad. The location is also ideal for conferences and events, as it is located right at one of Switzerland's most important transport hubs.

“Zurich Airport is an ideal location for startups and will be even more relevant in the coming years. Fabio Donnaloia, Co-Founder”


The Novu Campus is designed to meet the requirements of modern work environments while creating space for creativity and exchange. The five meeting rooms with their technologically advanced equipment offer a flexible basis for all types of meetings — from small team meetings, trainings, meetings, final talks, brainstorming, coaching, consultations to large customer presentations and training courses. Video conferencing systems, interactive displays and high-speed Internet are available to enable seamless communication and efficient work. The event space, which can accommodate up to 240 people, is perfect for large events such as seminars, meetings, general meetings, board meetings, investor meetings, annual meetings, video conferences, administrative meetings, meetings, product presentations or networking events. Thanks to the modular design of the room, it can be optimally adapted to the respective needs.


The public coffee bar is not only a place for a lunch break or a quick coffee in between, but also a meeting place for the community and people from different industries and backgrounds. It invites you to relax, have informal conversations or make new contacts. This area is an essential part of the Novu Campus and promotes exchange between community members and external guests. This is often where the best ideas and collaborations arise — in an informal atmosphere that is essential for a coworking space.

“Community is created with casual beer or a short espresso. It is not the big events where the best ideas are born. Emanuel Forny, Co-Founder”


The Novu Campus manages to combine a well-thought-out, functional working environment with a lively startup community. The design of the premises is modern and at the same time attractively adapted to the needs of companies and startups, with great emphasis on ergonomics and a feel-good atmosphere. The open spaces promote cooperation and exchange between startups and companies, while separate areas offer sufficient retreat opportunities for focused work. The community of startups and companies on the Novu Campus benefits from a variety of events, workshops and networking events, which are offered regularly. This gives members the opportunity to further develop their skills and learn from other industry experts.

“We're inventing the workplace of the future and rethinking New Work and the way we work together. Sam Dumelin, Co-Founder”


In summary, the Novu Campus offers all the conditions that startups and established companies need to successfully grow and take their business to the next level. The combination of an ideal location, cutting-edge technical equipment and a strong network of partners makes the Novu Campus a unique address for ambitious companies in Zurich and beyond. If you're looking for a place where business, innovation and community come together, this is the place for you. The Novu Campus is more than just a workplace — it is a place where visions become reality.
