On May 15, we opened our renovated Viadukt location in Bogen E with our new partner  Patagonia Switzerland. Together, we’re determined to drive positive change in our communities and beyond. Check out the video starring our  Impact Hub Zürich  and  Patagonia  crew. Thank you,  Daniel Munding Filmemacher , for catching the enthusiasm in the air!  Our Viadukt location is the cradle of Impact Hub Zürich, where it all started almost 12 years ago. With Patagonia, the space has found new meaning and is once again the starting point of a wonderful, unique, new initiative - open to both our communities. We are therefore thrilled to open the space to our members again. You can now work side by side with Patagonia in our Viadukt co-working space: Bogen E, Viaduktstrasse 93, Kreis 5. If you’re looking for a place to work, create and socialize, come and join us. Stay tuned for more updates on our collaboration and the exciting projects that we will be working on! To learn more about this partnership, check out our announcement  here .
We are looking forward to welcoming you at Impact Hub Zürich!

We have some exciting news to share with you! In case you missed our  LinkedIn post , we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Patagonia, as we join forces to drive positive change. 
In April 2023, Patagonia opened its base camp at Impact Hub Zürich and relocated its B2B-showroom to our Viadukt location in Bogen E. This space is the cradle of Impact Hub Zürich, where it all started almost 12 years ago. With Patagonia, the space has found new meaning and is once again the starting point of a wonderful, unique, new initiative - open to both our communities. 
Last week, our joint Soft Launch event Patagonia Switzerland x Impact Hub Zürich took place at the renovated Viadukt location in Bogen E. The space is now open for our members again. They can directly connect to our friends and partners from Patagonia and work alongside its community of environmental NGOs. Coworking is possible in the front section of the arch, while a beautiful shared kitchen, reminiscent of a greenhouse, is located in the middle section. In the other part of the arch Patagonia has set up their B2B-showroom.  Through this partnership, we aim to leverage our combined resources, networks, and expertise to develop new solutions for the complex environmental and social challenges we face. Our aim  is to create an entrepreneurial model that combines our diverse activities and networks, prioritizing purpose over profit and collaboration over competition. You can read more about it in our joint press release,  Patagonia x Impact Hub Zürich . This partnership comes in the year of Patagonia's 50th anniversary and the step to transfer Patagonia's ownership to the Earth in September of last year. Notably, profits that are not reinvested in the company are distributed as dividends to protect the planet. 
Stay tuned for more updates on our  LinkedIn  and  Instagram  channels.

Am 20. April 2023 haben wir BOLD offiziell mit einem Kick-Off in Form eines Barcamps im  Kraftwerk Zürich  lanciert und die BOLD-Generation miteinander erleben dürfen: Mit vielen Fragen, engagiert, verletzlich, aber auch mutig und entschlossen, sich in Zukunft sichtbarer zu machen. Wir sind persönlich berührt von den Geschichten, von der Offenheit und Intensität der Diskussion und von der positiven, kraftvollen Energie, die sich an diesem Abend entfaltet hat.  Was wir gelernt haben: 1. Die BOLD-Generation ist vielfältig: Es braucht die verschiedensten Stimmen darin - geht es nicht zuletzt gerade darum, diese Vielfältigkeit leben zu können und in dieser Generation den Mut und die Möglichkeiten zu schaffen, sich von standardisierten und nicht mehr zeitgemässen Narrativen zu befreien. 2. Die BOLD-Generation ist gemeinsam herausgefordert: Bei aller Verschiedenheit der individuellen Stories gibt es doch Themen, die uns alle gemeinsam fordern. Die Generation BOLD ist mit existentiellen Themen konfrontiert, die auf unterschiedlichsten Ebenen eine grundlegende Transformation erfordern. Wenn wir gemeinsam ins Handeln kommen, können wir uns gegenseitig unterstützen, diese Transformation aktiv und selbstbestimmt zu gestalten. 3. Wir wollen den weiteren Weg von BOLD gemeinsam gehen: Wir möchten die BOLD Welle, die wir am letzten Donnerstag gemeinsam kraftvoll angestossen haben, weitersurfen und BOLD weiter konkretisieren und wirksam und sichtbarer werden lassen. Dazu braucht es alle. Wir werden nun die nächsten Schritte planen, um BOLD gemeinsam weiter zu entwickeln.
Auf bold wieder ;) Mit herzlichem Gruss von  Luzia ,  Daniel  und  Markus
