« We need developers and systems engineers to accelerate the development of our independent technologies, and we have been partnering with various Swiss universities for several years now. We have already had excellent experience with staff trained at the first École 42, and this has strengthened our confidence in the ability of the Campus 42 Lausanne to train graduates whose skills complement those of university graduates, with a more practice-oriented curriculum. »

« At QoQa, we regularly need fresh energy to shake things up and come up with innovative solutions on a daily basis. École 41 Lausanne fosters creativity, collective intelligence and the freedom to make mistakes, which is why we share a common DNA. And shaking up that world a bit is a slightly mad venture – just the sort we love! »

Pascal Meyer

Head Otter, QoQa, QoQa

« 42 Lausanne is not only a response to the needs of the economy, but also a response to the expectations of young and older people alike who are looking for new educational pathways or who do not feel at ease in traditional courses. It is important to offer them alternative solutions, and this is one of the main reasons why we support this school. »

Pascal Kiener

CEO, BCV

« The shift towards data requires the development of talent with new skills, drawn from the IT sector and specifically equipped to address the challenges of Green IT, particularly as applied to our sector – energy. By supporting this school, Romande Energie is reaffirming its social and economic ambitions and has set itself the challenge of integrating environmental considerations into the definition of future IT requirements and, more broadly, into the energy transition. »

Philippe Durr

Partnership and Alliance Officer, Romande Energie

« As a socially responsible company, we are committed to doing everything we can to promote training, particularly in IT, where recruiting qualified staff is becoming increasingly difficult as digitalisation accelerates across all sectors. We are delighted to be working with École 42 Lausanne and to support this innovative initiative. »
