Personalized follow-up over time
The Alliance association supports its members in their innovation challenges. You benefit from privileged access to our activities, as well as personalized contact with a specialized technology advisor.
Your advisor can help you with your innovation projects. Whether you want to set up an Innosuisse project, a direct mandate, a student project, or any other type of project, Alliance is your partner. We listen to your needs, advise you, help you find the right partners, put together your project file and obtain funding for your project.
Workshops Alliance brainstorming sessions
The Alliance Association is launching Les Brainstormings d'Alliance, a series of events designed to encourage reflection between peers and academic institutions on cross-functional issues affecting technology, innovation and industrialization. Our events are free for association members.
During Alliance Brainstormings, a member company is invited to bring its problem to the workshop. The workshop closes with two presentations by guests chosen with you: a person from the academic field and a company working on the issue in question.
Would you like to submit a problem or take part in a brainstorming session?
Student projects
The Alliance association helps its members set up student projects. These projects are Bachelor's or Master's degree projects. Under the supervision of a professor in charge of the project, the student works on solving a concrete problem of the company involved, and must provide substantiated answers to a research question related to this theme.
The company provides the student with human, documentary and technical resources for the successful completion of his/her work and will receive the student∙e's results in return. Each collaborative project is subject to a contract between the company, the Haute école and the student∙e.
These projects can be proposed by companies to universities once a year (twice a year for EPFL). An Alliance consultant will advise you on the possibilities for collaboration with a university, and will help you write your proposal and put you in touch with an interested professor.
Is your company interested in a student project?
