Engineering Industry Day 2026
On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, EPFL Engineering Industry Day returns to the SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne for an edition dedicated to the links between cutting-edge scientific research and innovative industry. Organized by EPFL's Vice Presidency for Innovation and Impact, this forum brings together researchers, business leaders, engineers, and economic players around the technologies that are shaping the future.
When science meets industry: a hub for innovation and collaboration
In a constantly evolving technological environment, strengthening synergies between universities, laboratories, and businesses has become essential to remaining competitive. EPFL Engineering Industry Day offers a platform for exchange and co-creation, where innovations from research can be put into perspective with current and future industrial needs.
The day will highlight three major themes at the heart of industrial transformation:
- Energy transition and sustainable engineering – solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of industrial processes and design more efficient and responsible systems.
- AI and digital technologies – leveraging artificial intelligence, data science, and digital systems to optimize operations, productivity, and product innovation.
- Healthcare innovation – emerging medical technologies, smart devices, and interdisciplinary approaches to address challenges in the healthcare sector.
