25 years of CSEM in central Switzerland: Driving industrial innovation

  • 25 years of technology transfer with a measurable impact: around 40 innovation projects and 70 coaching sessions each year for companies across all cantons of Central Switzerland.
  • A clear impact on industry: solutions in automation technologies at the interface between robotics, sensor technology, AI and fluidics/handling systems bring innovations to production, quality control and laboratories more quickly.
  • Continuous growth since 2001: from 12 to 55 employees, turnover from 4.5 to around 11 million Swiss francs and over 3 million Swiss francs of annual technology transfer to the region.
