Digital urban development | Stefan Zanetti | TEDxBasel

Urban planners now spend billions to ensure the sustainability of new developments, but it is residents not buildings that truly define an area. Stefan Zanetti explores how digital frameworks can bridge the gap between physical landscapes and sustainable living.

Stefan Zanetti has started several start-ups as spin-offs from projects at ETH Zurich. With the creation of synesix, careware and qipp, he has combined his enthusiasm for solutions in the fields of customer interaction design, risk and sustainability management with his passion for new technologies. His youngest venture, the multiple- awarded software company qipp [“kwipp”], follows a disruptive Internet of Things approach by applying social networking technologies to things.
