KONKURADO is the independent information platform for current, future and completed architectural and engineering competitions in the public and private procurement sector in Switzerland.

It enables the tendering of competitions, study contracts, planner selection procedures, architecture and design prizes, tenders - simply all procedures involving planning services.

With its specially developed tool for organising procedures - SEKRETARIO - it offers end-to-end digital and efficient support for procedures.

It is used to archive relevant competition data and makes it permanently accessible.

The competition lab (Wettbewerbslabor) was conceived in collaboration with hochparterre wettbewerbe.

The competition scene meets every two years for this innovative and creative exchange. Current developments in the competition sector in Switzerland are discussed, analysed and examined with regard to their future viability.

The competition laboratory is a place for research and exchange. Laboratory groups work on individual topics before the Competition Lab and present their results at the Competition Lab.

The competition lab took place for the first time in 2023. In a former industrial hall in Zurich-Oerlikon, experts discussed current and burning issues in planning competitions. 

The congress is aimed at developers, participants, jurors and organisers. It is organised by Hochparterre and the Foundation Research Design Competitions.

The next competition lab will take place on 5 September 2025 in Zurich.
