Our projects
Artificial intelligence to revolutionize underground network mapping
Acquiring and processing the data needed to maintain underground water, gas and electricity networks is a costly and time-consuming process. Geneva's Industrial Services decided to call on HEIG-VD's Institut d'ingénierie du territoire to help them explore the impact that AI and new technologies could have on the acquisition and processing of cartographic data.
A digital twin for biocomposite optimization
In 2019, Dynatec, a company with expertise in high-precision machining, has embarked on an ambitious project: to develop a biobased composite material and combine it with a digital twin to optimize the implementation process and thus gain in agility. The project was carried out in collaboration with HEIG-VD, and received Innosuisse funding with the help of Alliance.
Aspivix, a gynaecological instrument that respects women's privacy
For over a century, most women have suffered from gynecological procedures performed with Pozzi forceps. Equipped with claws, these forceps too often cause severe pain. That's why Aspivix, a Vaud-based start-up, has developed an alternative that respects women's intimacy and is less painful, based on the suction cup principle.
HemostOD: platelets on demand
HemostOD, an EPFL start-up supported by Alliance to obtain an Innosuisse grant, has developed an innovative solution for producing platelets ex vivo, enabling large quantities to be generated in a short space of time.
