The roots of today's JED Campus date back to 1895, when Johann Caspar Geissberger founded the Swiss Wagon Factory in Schlieren. Workplaces for the construction of luxury carriages and sleighs were initially built on the newly acquired site, before the company began to focus entirely on rail vehicles in 1901. The ‘Wagi’, as it was affectionately known, shaped Swiss mobility for decades and developed, among other things, the first light steel carriages for the SBB. read more

In the 1960s, the Schindler Group took over the company, but production ended in 1985 – a turning point for Schlieren. The NZZ printing company then moved in and turned the site into a hub for information and communication until 2015. Swiss Prime Site's vision marked the beginning of a new chapter: the historic industrial halls were transformed into a modern innovation campus.

Today, JED is a place where history and the future merge – a vibrant hub for knowledge transfer, entrepreneurship and creativity. read less
