Future Lab

The real estate world is undergoing ever more rapid transformation. If you want to keep up, you have to get moving. We help executives and specialists recognise the associated changes in the construction and real estate industry at an early stage and develop solutions together so that the change can be profitably harnessed for their own company. In doing so, we focus on innovation through structured knowledge exchange and make targeted use of methods such as eLearning, design thinking workshops, study tours or open innovation networks to help you think ahead to new solutions and embed innovation in your DNA.

Are you a first mover and do you ask questions that no one can answer? Then you’ve come to the right place! We combine strategic considerations with approaches from futures research and always try to close the gap between what is feasible today and possible tomorrow. In interdisciplinary project teams with experts from all phases of the real estate life cycle, we develop digitally oriented solutions that can be applied at the property, portfolio or company and organisational level, depending on the issue, and thus drive the transformation of the real estate industry forward.

We advise you on expanding or deepening your areas of expertise with individually commissioned studies and sound market analyses. Twenty-five years of experience in the construction and real estate industry, a special scouting team, regular market surveys, and intensive cooperation with universities (ETHZ, EPFL, HSG, HWZ, FHNW, HSLU) as well as the co-founding of initiatives and our participation in national and international associations (ULI, buildingSMART, The Branch, IBPDI, CHDBE, Smart Building Certification, SRERC) enable us to answer your questions in a forward-looking manner.

We are experts in systematically identifying and assessing global and national emerging trends, technologies, start-ups and the risks of digitisation – and their relevance for the real estate industry. Supplemented by crowd-based assessments, our services form a solid foundation for effective innovation management for our clients.

The challenges on the way to the real estate world of the future often require new perspectives and innovative solutions. We help you find the right one. Thanks to our close cooperation with SwissPropTech and initiatives such as the Digital Top 10, we are well connected in the PropTech scene and familiar with the latest developments. We support you in the systematic search for relevant innovations or identify suitable investment and participation opportunities.
