Evidence snapshot for Lausanne
Lausanne is home to EPFL Innovation Park, a science park that has hosted over 500 deep-tech startups since its founding and generated 293 spin-off companies since 2000, with EPFL-linked startups raising CHF 470 million in 2023. The park currently operates 250 high-tech companies on its 140,000 m² campus, employing approximately 2,500 entrepreneurs and researchers, and achieves a 90% five-year survival rate for spin-offs—substantially higher than the ~50% global average. The evidence demonstrates Lausanne's capacity for university-to-market knowledge transfer but does not quantify broader economic or social outcomes beyond the innovation park ecosystem itself.
