Be a guest or partner on TechDrive Zürich

How the format works

The conversation happens side by side in the passenger seat rather than across a studio table. There are no slides and no rehearsed answers: the drive sets the time limit, and the aim is the honest, personal story behind the work. Every interview is published as a full video episode on YouTube and as an audio episode on the podcast platforms, with an episode page on this site that summarises the key insights.

The audience is people who build, fund and study technology: founders, engineers, researchers, investors and corporate innovation teams, in Switzerland and abroad. All conversations are in English.

Pitching yourself as a guest

We look for people building or researching technology in Zürich, elsewhere in Switzerland or the wider European deep tech ecosystem, with a story that goes beyond the company pitch. A short email is enough. Please include:

• who you are, your role and your organisation;
• what you are building or researching, and why it matters now;
• the one or two stories or questions you would want to talk about;
• a link to a profile or recent talk, if you have one.

Not every pitch can become an episode. Browse the episode archive to see the kind of conversations we record.

Partnership enquiries

If your organisation wants to support the series or work with it, tell us who you are, what you have in mind and who you want to reach. There is no standard package or price list on this site: every partnership starts as a conversation.

Episodes are editorial content and guests speak for themselves, as set out in the editorial independence terms.
