In the ninth episode of our podcast "forward thinking" about trends, developments and challenges in the world of learning and work, Yannick speaks with Moritz, the founder of Zuriga AG.

When Moritz took apart his own espresso machine many years ago, one thing quickly became clear: it could be done better.

What began as a tinkering project in his flat in Zurich is today – almost ten years later – a true success story: a manufactory for high-quality portafilter machines, developed and built in the heart of Zurich - with stores in Zurich and Munich and over 10,000 machines sold.

The conversation covers entrepreneurial principles, locality and corporate culture, but also projects that went badly wrong.

We also address the following questions:

  • How can innovation be maintained in a growing company?

  • Why is the proximity between production and administration so important?

  • And what can we expect from Zuriga in the future?
