Here’s a quick version of our journey and how we got started, what keeps us moving forward and the people driving Resilent team
Getting started

Our first year
Within its first year of operation, Resilient onboarded over a dozen ventures as part of its coworking operations, and added over 1,800 sqm of space to its growing operations
Becoming builders
Having created a strong connection to swiss innovation ecosystem, our management team decided to become more actively involved with the development of new concepts, and launched Resilient with a new mission of building our own businesses
