Lausanne sits in Canton of Vaud, with an economy built on higher education and research, software and technology, and medical devices. We deliver Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure work here remote-first, with on-site workshops at the points where being in the room changes the outcome, and we publish three local analyses rather than claiming an office we do not occupy.

Lausanne analyses

Three local analyses

Each one takes the local sector mix seriously: the metrics that break here, the architecture those industries need, and the regulatory obligations that apply.
Local economy

The local economy

Lausanne's EPFL ecosystem produces technically sophisticated clients, many of them research spin-outs with excellent data and no reporting layer. Medtech firms in the area bring device traceability and regulatory evidence requirements, and French is the working language for most stakeholder sessions.

EPFL gives Lausanne an exceptional concentration of engineering and machine learning talent.

Economic anchors

  • EPFL, one of Europe's leading technical universities
  • a substantial medtech and biotech cluster
  • international sports federation headquarters

Where the clients sit

  • the city centre
  • the EPFL and UNIL campus
  • the Biopôle at Épalinges
  • Ouchy

How buying works here

Eight to twenty weeks.

Relationship-led but heavily documented, with supplier due diligence that goes further than anywhere else in our markets, particularly in banking and pharmaceuticals.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Fachstelle, the business owner
  2. IT security, with a questionnaire and frequently an architecture review
  3. Datenschutz, against the revFADP rather than an EU-shaped pack
  4. Einkauf for commercial terms
  5. Outsourcing or risk committee, in regulated financial services
  6. Geschäftsleitung, for anything touching client-identifying data

Have ready

  • Handelsregisterauszug, current commercial register extract
  • Betreibungsregisterauszug, a debt enforcement register extract, requested more often than people expect
  • Insurance certificates including professional indemnity, in CHF cover levels
  • Data processing agreement drafted against the revFADP, not a translated EU template
  • Security questionnaire, frequently the client's own rather than a standard

Contract language: German, French or Italian depending on the canton; English is common in banking, pharmaceuticals and international groups.

Next step

Analytics work in Lausanne

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what higher education and research and software and technology data looks like. We will tell you what we would build, in what order, and roughly what it costs.

How this usually runs here
A technical call, then a written Offerte. Regulated buyers will ask for an outsourcing assessment and a tested exit plan early.
