Industry Partnerships

Our goal is that our research translates into benefits for society & economy. To democratize
access to AI, we put an emphasis on freely available resources for startups and SMEs in particular. For advanced partners, we offer an Industry Partnership Program (IPP) with a single point-of-contact for ETH Zurich & EPFL. Strategic partners are also doubling down in multi-year collaborations with research projects, donations to fellowship programs, and jointly coordinated research wallets.
