The PSE Foundation

The Park Scientific Foundation (PSE) was formed on February 14, 1991.

 

The PSE’s mission is to facilitate technology transfer from academia to the private sector in the Canton de Vaud. This is achieved primarily through the creation of Start-ups from local universities and engineering schools and by working with small-to-medium-sized enterprises in the region; helping them grow their businesses by exploiting current technologies from Swiss academic institutions.
