The Circle at Zurich Airport

Why the Circle at Zurich Airport is the perfect place to work for startups and small companies.

The Circle at Zurich Airport is much more than just a workplace — it is a dynamic center for innovation, collaboration and growth. Companies of various sizes and industries are located here. For startups and small companies in particular, the Circle offers an ideal place to develop their activities and advance their corporate goals. One of the biggest advantages of Circle is the proximity to large established companies that are also based there. This geographical proximity can offer numerous advantages that may not be immediately apparent at first glance, but which can prove extremely valuable in the long term.

The proximity to large companies creates an environment in which knowledge transfer and exchange can take place effortlessly. Startups and small companies have the opportunity to benefit from the experience and know-how of large companies. The idea of networking events, workshops and joint events taking place in the Circle, where you can get in direct contact with representatives of these companies, is ideal. Such opportunities make it possible to build valuable relationships that can be beneficial when developing partnerships or potential future projects. The opportunity to exchange ideas with successful entrepreneurs and experts often leads to new impulses and solutions that can help a startup overcome challenges and develop innovative ideas.

In addition, the proximity to large companies also offers the opportunity to benefit from their market positioning and visibility. Startups in particular that want to establish their products or services first often have the problem of not generating enough public attention. By settling in the Circle, in which well-known brands and corporations are also present, this problem can be alleviated. A common location gives your own company credibility and can serve as a figurehead. When a potential customer or investor sees that the company operates in an environment in which well-known corporations are also represented, this is perceived as a sign of professionalism and quality.

‍
Another important aspect is the direct opportunity for cooperation and business development. Large companies are often looking for innovative solutions that they can integrate into their existing processes. Startups are exciting partners in this context, as they often react agilely and creatively to problems and break new ground. In a business hub, the barrier to getting in touch is significantly lower than with a cold email or a formal meeting. People meet in the alleys of Circle, over coffee at the Novu Campus Coffee Bar or during lunch break in a restaurant — such spontaneous encounters can be the start of a successful collaboration. Large companies, on the other hand, appreciate working with startups because they bring fresh perspectives and find unconventional answers to technological or organizational challenges. This can be a win-win situation for both sides, in which startups benefit from the resources and market access of large companies while keeping themselves competitive by working with innovative young companies.

‍
In addition to potential business relationships, the Circle also offers an inspiring work environment. The variety of different companies and the diversity of the industries represented create a creative and productive atmosphere that is invaluable for startups and small companies. Working in such an environment promotes exchange and creates space for lateral thinking. Startups, which are often still looking for their own identity and strategy, can benefit enormously from this environment. They gain insights into various working methods and forms of organization and can get specific suggestions on how they can structure their own work better and make it more efficient.

‍
The coworking space and, more broadly, the Circle also creates a sense of community that is often missing in classic office buildings or individual offices. Especially for small companies or startups, the feeling of isolation can be a problem. In Circle, you are surrounded by like-minded people who pursue similar goals and have to overcome the same challenges. This environment can be motivating and help you not to be discouraged in difficult phases. Synergies can also be exploited within the community — from joint use of services to the exchange of contacts and joint marketing campaigns.
In summary, a coworking space in Circle is not only an ideal place to work for startups and small companies because it offers cost-effective and flexible working spaces. The proximity to large companies opens up a wide range of opportunities that go far beyond the use of a workplace. It is a place where collaboration is promoted, knowledge is shared and exciting new business relationships can be created. The creative atmosphere, networking opportunities and the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of large companies make the Circle a valuable catalyst for the success of young companies.
