Initiative #TechnoSteppers

Fancy some fresh air over lunch? Then the TechnoSteppers are just the thing!
For all those who have been sitting at their laptop since early morning, those who are waiting for flashes of inspiration and creativity burst or for those who simply long for a bit of exercise over lunchtime – we have good news!

GNL and Technopark Zurich have teamed up to motivate you to go for a leisurely 30-minute walk once a week. If you want to get fitter, meet new people, increase your daily step count, chat with neighbours, do something good for yourself and simply take a little break from everyday working life – TechnoSteppers is the right place for you.

• When: Every Tuesday at 12:30 pm (start date is 16 July 2024)
• Meeting point: Technopark main entrance (Turbinenplatz)
• Clothing: Normal – you can leave your sports gear and trainers at home

The walk also takes place in bad weather (exception: thunderstorms & storms)

Just give it a try – alone or with your whole team. We look forward to seeing you!

Why go for a walk?

Numerous studies prove it: People who walk regularly strengthen their muscles, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and many other chronic illnesses and mobilise the immune system. The active movement of walking strengthens not only the back muscles but also the large muscle groups in particular. At the same time, the moderate movement is good for the joints, which are kept mobile but not subjected to too much strain. The fresh air helps the body to relax and rest more easily in the evening. A ¼ hour is usually enough to significantly improve your mood.

Going for a walk can also have a positive effect on the psyche, as exercise releases happiness hormones. Walks can therefore reduce stress and improve your mood. Walking with friends or in groups can also strengthen social bonds and reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Also important: walking outdoors supplies the brain with oxygen, which supports the ability to think and combats fatigue.

Pilotproject with Café Europe

News articles covering TECHNOPARK companies
In partnership with the news agency Café Europe, Technopark Zurich is testing an innovative communications solution which supports Technopark’s tenants by systematically producing news articles. The aim here is to improve the visibility of businesses located at Technopark Zurich in the news world. For tenant companies, it is simply a case of submitting the most up-to-date information about your business and letting our cooperation partner Café Europe do the rest by producing and publishing the news article.

Where will the news articles appear?
The news articles are published on the TECHNOPARK newsfeed in addition to channels operated by Café Europe. You can find an overview of these channels here.

What information do I need to supply?
Anything new is newsworthy. This could be information about new customers, projects, partners and financing rounds, awards, or perhaps even a change of CEO, to name but a few examples. Keywords and phrases are sufficient here; you do not need to send over convoluted press releases, although some background details on the company would be helpful. Images, for example of your team, can be used to enhance the news article. Quotes help to inject life into the text, as people are interested in people.

Information, images, and documents can be sent to: news@technopark.ch

How often will my company be featured in a news article?
The partnership is intended to reflect the full spectrum of companies based at TECHNOPARK. However, TECHNOPARK reserves the right to set priorities of its own.

Who should you contact with questions?
For organizational questions, please contact Barbara Frauenfeld of the TECHNOPARK foundation, while editorial questions can be posed to the editorial team at Café Europe.
