The new technology platform for enterprises was designed to reinforce the interactions between academia and business and thus foster innovation.
A joint effort of the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland – Geneva (HES-SO Genève), the Laboratory of Advanced Technology (LTA) has been operational since early 2014 but was officially inaugurated only recently. It aims to create a fertile ground for innovation by promoting resources sharing with industrial and academic partners. More concretely, LTA provides companies with original technical solutions and allows them to utilize a variety of academic infrastructures to develop their projects. Spectrometers, rapid prototyping machines and electron-beam lithography systems are among around one hundred state-of-the-art appliances made available to small, medium and large companies based in Geneva and Switzerland. The new platform provides exceptional expertise across a number of sectors including bio‑engineering, imaging, tribology and metrology.
LTA complements existing Geneva-based initiatives supporting businesses such as the Geneva Creativity Center (GCC), UNITEC and Euresearch, all focused on combining fundamental and applied research.
