Our projects
A Miniaturized fuel cell for clean energy
Inergio, a spin-off from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the Haute école d’ingénierie et de gestion du canton de Vaud (HEIG-VD), has taken on the mission of addressing the challenge of off-grid power supply by developing a new, innovative generation of miniaturized, efficient, and environmentally friendly fuel cells.
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.
From direct mandates to Innosuisse projects
Over the last few years, the Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) has decided to take part in Innosuisse-funded projects as an academic partner, with the coaching of Alliance.
