What is DARE Campus

A campus for builders.
Not managers.

DARE Campus is Zurich's home for deep tech, AI, robotics, and applied research — housed in one of the city's most remarkable buildings at The JED, Zurich-Schlieren.

The name says it all. DARE is a commitment — to ambitious thinking, to real work, and to the people who aren't afraid to build something new.

  • Home for deep tech, AI, robotics & applied innovation
  • Where startups, researchers & corporate R&D meet
  • Experimentation, learning and collaboration by default
  • Operated end-to-end by FlexOffice

IS NOT
  • An anything-goes coworking space
  • A lifestyle brand or event venue
  • A startup incubator or VC accelerator
  • An open-door drop-in space
  • A place where quality gets compromised
