"The Swiss startup Oxygen at Work offers an all-inclusive subscription for IoT-based plant concepts to make offices measurably more sustainable and healthier."

"BUILTWORLD identifies the most relevant challenges and topics of the future. With the PropTechMap 2021, we utilize our innovation ecosystem to provide a unique perspective on the builtworld world of tomorrow."

"Swiss start-up Oxygen at Work provides offices with tropical plants and accompanying sensors to track air quality and humidity, with data analytics to make sense of that information."

"Combined with artificial intelligence, office plants can literally improve the climate, increase employee productivity and well-being, and save energy."

"In response to new demands for workspace innovation, startups around the world are poised to deliver services that improve offices. Healthy air, hygienic surfaces and flexible spaces may have long been desirable qualities in a workplace, but in the post-Covid era, they are critical."

"Because the virus can also be transmitted by aerosols, the focus is on air quality in offices. The young Zurich company Oxygen at Work is benefiting from this. Their solution: They rent plants to other companies that use sensors to improve the air."

"Air quality has a significant effect on human health and the number of days employees miss at work. Various approaches exist to get rid of study offices and polluted indoor air. However, their effect is often not tangible."

“Indoor plants are typically selected on the basis of their aesthetic features rather than physiological requirements re$ecting their capacity to remove air pollutants”

"Oxygen at Work has more than doubled its sales every year. Now the market entry in Germany has also been successful. The basis for the growth is significant energy savings and positive effects on the employees of Oxygen at Work's customers."

"Plants provide rooms with humidity, absorb pollutants such as CO2 and thus make the office air cleaner. Oxygen at Work has developed a business idea from this and greens the workplaces of companies with selected plants."

"Natural materials, organic forms, daylight gradients and air humidifiers as well as lots of plants and the connection to nature ensure holistic well-being."

"On the basis of this data, the company developed an AI that today monitors and optimizes the installed room concepts and displays the results on the dashboard. Based on these results, the rooms are further optimized, for example by adjusting the ventilation and saving energy."

"In Zurich, a startup, Oxygen at Work, is taking more concrete steps than most governments, to create safer air at work places."

"Large-leaved houseplants, climbing tendrils and sometimes even small trees - since 2017 a startup from Zurich has been providing green splashes of color in offices. But the potted, hanging and climbing plants are not only beautiful to look at, they are said to be real health-givers."
