POWZY
Sergio Almaguer, POWZY co-founder, is doing a Master in Management of Technology and Entrepreneurship at the EPFL. POWZY, a startup based in La Forge (EPFL), is an online platform to improve customer engagement. The technology engages and entertains consumers by adding mobile games mechanics to loyalty programs. It is an easy-to-launch and affordable solution for professionals, from the next door flower shop to bigger companies.
Market Access Companion (MAC)
Thomas Gauthier, Economics Professor at the HEG Genève, co-founded Market Access Companion to meet the needs of health and sciences industries. The role played by the key opinion leaders, influence networks and early adopters is important in these fields. These opinion leaders could optimize the market access for a new product. MAC will provide Big-Data driven, unbiased identification of these key influencers, who are most likely to take on novel therapeutics or medical technologies. MAC will also enable client companies to precisely and efficiently steer sparse sales and marketing resources towards strategic prospects.
Jeanious
Andreas Guggenbühl (Mechanical Engineer Master at the ETHZ) and Michael Berli (Computer Science Master at the ETHZ) founded jeanious, a fashion and IT company that enables consumers to create their own jeans online. This is possible thanks to an innovative technology that generates a 3D-body-model with 7 measurements (previously inserted by the consumer) and designs a customized jean that can be delivered in only 10 days.
Fastree 3D
Since 2002, Edoardo Charbon, Fastree 3D co-founder, is professor at the EPFL. Fastree 3D sensors create a “virtual safety belt” around the driver assisted cars and autonomous robots by providing 3D imaging technology complementing other sensors such as 2D cameras, radars and ultrasound sensors. This provides a strong performance impact on safety systems.
