Evidence snapshot for Lausanne
Lausanne is home to the EPFL Innovation Park, a leading university science park established in 1991 that has generated over 500 deep-tech spinoffs and currently hosts 250 high-tech companies employing approximately 2,500 researchers and entrepreneurs. EPFL-linked startups raised CHF 470 million in 2023, and the park's spinoffs demonstrate a 90% five-year survival rate, substantially above the ~50% global average. The evidence documents Lausanne's structured university-to-market knowledge-transfer infrastructure but does not quantify broader economic or demographic characteristics of the city itself.
