Agropôle

Agropôle is a unique demonstration center where all the agrifood sector stakeholders, from field to plate through agri-food tech innovation, coexist.

Fields for trials and 35,000m2 of constructible industrial space: Agropôle is a campus that combines industry, service providers and innovators to accelerate the implementation of tomorrow’s sustainable food solutions.

As a real field-based ecosystem leader and market expert, the cluster accelerates the deployment of tomorrow’s sustainable food solutions by creating bridges among all the players of the agrifood sector, developing dedicated services and testing grounds for new crops or agri-food tech solutions. In 2020, Agropôle evolves and develops, with its development partner Losinger Marazzi, the construction of new buildings in order to accommodate more tenants. With the ambition of being a real high-tech and sustainable demonstrator, the Agropôle has been chosen by Bouygues Group as one of the world’s three circular economy demonstrators.

Becoming part of the Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley demonstrates how the pooling of knowledge, in Switzerland and internationally, is essential to the development of the sustainable world of tomorrow. In order to expand the agri-food tech knowledge and innovation networks, Agropôle is a collaborator of the Solar Impulse Foundation.

EHL Innovation Village

Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) launched the first business incubator for hospitality concepts and start-ups in 2009 to create a dedicated resource for the development of new hospitality and F&B concepts. The initiative was embraced by students, alumni and industry partners and it became clear that a new space was needed to house the ever-growing pool of ideas and innovators that were coming from the school and the industry.

That is why, in 2018, EHL signed an agreement with Ville de Lausanne to develop an innovation ecosystem near the EHL campus in the historical hamlet of the Quartier de l’Auberge of Chalet à Gobet. This new Innovation Village has two core missions: to support entrepreneurship and to inspire and disrupt the food & hospitality industry, and it is powered by strategic partners.
