The new platform will help companies speed up the implementation of their digitization strategies by providing support and expertise.

Digital technologies are transforming our way of life and our economy in a profound and lasting way. To address this fundamental change, leading telecommunications provider Swisscom and the Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have partnered to create a digitalization competence center. Located at the heart of the EPFL campus on the shores of Lake Geneva, the newly inaugurated Digital Lab brings together all the components and expertise necessary to succeed in the digital age with the goal of helping companies become pioneers in the digital revolution.

Specifically, companies will share their expertise with the lab’s interdisciplinary teams, who in turn will offer support – including software, coaching and technology – for the development of their digital transformation projects. Companies will also have the opportunity to try out new agile working methods and rapid-prototyping techniques, according to a press release. The areas of focus range from artificial intelligence, robotics and the Internet of Things to big data and data storage systems.
