Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in Lausanne

Lausanne is the capital of the canton of Vaud, on the shore of Lake Geneva, and one of Switzerland's leading technology and research cities. For founders in deep technology, robotics, food technology and sport, it offers world-class research and major corporate partners nearby.

Why Lausanne Matters for Capital Raising

EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, became a federal institute in 1969 and is one of Europe's leading technical universities and a major source of venture-backed spinouts.

The International Olympic Committee has been based in Lausanne since 1915, making the city a global centre of sports administration and sports technology. Nestlé is headquartered in nearby Vevey, and Logitech has its Swiss headquarters in Lausanne.

The EPFL Innovation Park and the wider Lake Geneva region give founders access to experienced engineers, corporate partners and international investors.
