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.

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.
