Great contribution! Another aspect to add is the use of artificial intelligence to analyze internal HR data and employee feedback, leading to increased engagement, reduced turnover, and improved performance. The targeted use of AI in the hotel industry will contribute to sustainably increasing the success and efficiency of businesses. There are already some good examples in the hotel industry in Switzerland.

How do we contribute to a more sustainable food system? Recently, during the EARTH 2024 conference organised by FCSI EAME, we had the chance to listen Maya Ladner's presentation, who works at the ZHAW School of Life Sciences and Facility Management. Ladner delved into the topic of regenerative agriculture, highlighting the critical need to adopt regenerative economic systems in the foodservice market. This is an approach we fully support, aimed at minimising waste by creating systems that enable the reuse and optimal preservation of resources. Innovations like our EVEREO® align perfectly with this goal, it is the first hot preservation system capable of keeping ready-to-eat food fresh for days without altering its organoleptic properties. This innovation not only revolutionises the work of professionals but also helps them drastically reduce food waste. At Unox, we are committed to ensuring that every step forward brings us closer to a more sustainable future. Want to know more?

*** NEW REPORT: Impact of climate change on black pepper cultivation *** 🍴 Pepper is not only a staple in kitchens worldwide but also a significant player in the global economy. Recognizing its importance, ‍a research team from the ZHAW Life Sciences und Facility Management has now shed light on how climate change could impact the cultivation of this vital spice in the future. 🌎 For the first time, a comprehensive model was developed to illustrate the global cultivation suitability of pepper. Climatic, topographical and soil-related factors were taken into account, as well as various socio-economic scenarios. ➡ The findings reveal a mixed future: while some regions may benefit from rising temperatures, others could face challenges due to altered precipitation patterns and prolonged droughts. Water availability emerges as a critical factor in sustaining pepper cultivation going forward. ❗This study marks an important first step towards understanding pepper's cultivation prospects and shaping adaptation strategies. It also serves as a valuable model for assessing climate change impacts on other essential spices and herbs. 💡 Thank you Roman Grüter, Nils Ratnaweera, Carmen Forrer and Fabienne Buchmann for your great work and the provided insights! #ClimateChange #Sustainability #FoodSecurity #SpiceCultivation #ResearchImpact #ZurichUniversityOfAppliedSciences

I'm looking for adventurous teammates. (Long text, but worth it if you're entrepreneurially minded and have a bit of spare time). Why you ask? 🤔 Very few components and materials are being re-used in building construction, because it is currently cheaper to build new. With almost 40% of green-house gas emissions coming from construction, this needs to change if we want to achieve our sustainability goals as a society. For the last 2 months I have been working on an Urban Mining project (urban mining being the re-use of materials from urban mines, a.k.a. cities), with the goal of making a functional business case of reducing CO2 emissions in building construction. This, I believe, is necessary for wide-spread adoption of re-used materials and components. While I've been working on networking and the business aspects of this project, I am looking for real know-how in areas such as: - Architecture - Civil Engineering - Data or Computer Science OR skills similar to those mentioned above What do you get out of it? 😎 The project has been accepted into the ZHAWentures program (https://lnkd.in/dTjgtAZ6). Also, the project will be coached by Bluelion Incubator during the coming months. If you are interested in joining and developing your entrepreneurial skillset while working on a highly relevant problem, let me know! It'd be great to have a chat about it. 😀 P.S., I am looking for people living in or close to Zurich. P.S.S. please share if you know anybody that could be interested!

Expats in Switzerland often find it challenging to meet and strike up conversations with local people. So why not go to a fruit and vegetable market, where there are ample opportunities to meet a large variety of people and practice a little French? The vibrant markets of Suisse Romande offer a delightful way to immerse yourself in local culture. The key is really to do it regularly, so the vendors can recognise your face as a "regular customer" and thus they would be much more willing to have a chat with you even if your French is far from perfect. Everyone rewards trial. Here are three ways to start a conversation: #1. Smile and say "Bonjour."- If you feel shy just smile and establish eye contact. I bet you the vendors will establish the rapport for you. #2. "Oh là là, qu'est-ce que c'est beau!" (Wow, that's beautiful.") /"Ils ont l'air super frais!" (They look super fresh!) - Which vendor wouldn't want to receive a compliment on their produce? Practice pronouncing these sentences in advance so they come out naturally #3. "Avez-vous une recette pour cuisiner ces asperges?" (Do you have a recipe for cooking these asparagus?) - Conversations are easy to strike up when you want to have further information about something. Prepare a list of questions you could use at the market. Whether your French is tip-top or hardly exists, your goal at the market is to have a good laugh, buy a few good-looking pieces of vegetables, fruit and establish rapport with vendors. #swiss #expat #integration #local #communities #havingfun #laugh #switzerland
