Our partners talk about 42 Lausanne

Testimonials

« We need developers and systems engineers to accelerate the development of our independent technologies, and we have already been partnering with various Swiss universities for several years. We already have excellent experience with employees trained at the first Ecole 42, and this has strengthened our confidence in the ability of Campus 42 Lausanne to train profiles that complement the universities, with a more practically oriented curriculum. »

Marc Oehler

CEO, Infomaniak

« At QoQa, we need new energies on a regular basis, to move the frameworks and come up with innovative solutions on a daily basis. The 41 Lausanne school trains people in creativity, collective intelligence and the right to make mistakes, which is why we share a common DNA. and shaking up this world is a bit of a crazy challenge, just the way we like it! »

Pascal Meyer

Chief Otter, QoQa, QoQa

« You acquire technical skills. What's much rarer is the "I'll find a solution" mentality that you find in 42 students. The school's teaching methods produce people who are capable of learning anything on their own, and frankly, in our profession, that's what counts most. »

Mathieu Croset

CEO, Marvelous Digital SA

« 42 Lausanne is not only a response to the needs of the economy, it is also a response to the expectations of young and not so young people who are looking for new training paths or who don't feel comfortable in traditional courses. It's important to offer them alternative solutions, and that's one of the reasons we're supporting this school. »

Pascal Kiener

CEO, BCV

« The shift to data requires the development of talent offering new skills, from IT and more specifically able to meet the challenges of Green IT, particularly as applied to our field, energy. By supporting this school, Romande Energie is confirming its social and economic ambitions, and setting itself the challenge of integrating the environmental aspect into the definition of future IT needs and, more generally, the energy transition. »

Philippe Durr

Partnership & Alliance Officer, Romande Energie

« As a responsible company, we want to do everything we can to promote training, particularly in IT, where the recruitment of qualified people is becoming difficult as the pace of digitalisation accelerates in all sectors. We are delighted to be working with Ecole 42 Lausanne and supporting this innovative approach. »

Philippe Buthey

Chief Technology Officer, Mutual Group

« Our economy needs young people with a passion for software development. The current training system in Switzerland, which is excellent and focuses on training entrepreneurs, will be intelligently complemented by the Ecole 42 Lausanne, »

Pierre Grydbeck

CEO, Open Web Technology

« Investing in education is vital for Azqore. In an increasingly complex and uncertain world, we are looking for more than just technical skills. We're looking for personalities capable of revealing their potential in a constantly changing environment. 42 frees itself from convention by opening its doors on the basis of objective criteria and develops the agility of its talents through a ground-breaking pedagogical approach. We support 42 Lausanne because we believe in diversity as a powerful source of organisational performance in a sector that suffers from a structural lack of female representation. »

Xavier Perrin

Chief Human Officer, Azqore SA

« The growing shortage of specialists is a fact... and all the upcoming digital transformation projects combined with the evolution of new technologies are not going to make things any easier. As a major player in the IT sector, we have a duty to play a key role in training the experts of tomorrow. In addition to traditional schools or apprenticeships, we were looking for disruptive ways to find our future talent. We were immediately attracted to École 42's unique, innovative and dynamic concept and were convinced by its approach, which will enable us to make an effective contribution to training highly competent, creative future IT specialists with a collaborative spirit that is fully in line with our DNA. We look forward not only to supporting them, but also to making an active contribution to our shared development by diving into the Ecole 42 Lausanne pool with our eyes closed. »

Managing Director, Swiss Bechtle

« 42 Lausanne represents a disruptive training concept that should inspire the world of finance, which is also suffering from a shortage of qualified profiles. We want to create synergies between finance and tech players in French-speaking Switzerland through this annual event and the regular meetings that will follow. »

Anthony Cohen-Dumani

Chairman, Fondation Vaudoise pour la Formation Bancaire

« While we fight on a daily basis to support the economy in the current delicate situation, we are betting on the future of digital technology in French-speaking Switzerland by supporting a project that complements our excellent academic ecosystem. »

Christophe Reymond

Director, Business Centre

« The shortage of IT specialists in Switzerland and in the canton is taking on worrying proportions. More generally, the shortage of talent in digital professions is very real. The model proposed by École 42 Lausanne clearly meets a need and deserves to be supported, which is what the CVCI has decided to do through its Foundation. To make up for the general shortage of available profiles, we need to be creative and multiply our solutions. The recipes are education, promotion of MINT subjects, enhancement of vocational training and collaboration. In the digital sector, the Canton is clearly not sufficient to meet the expectations of the economic fabric. In this respect, collaboration between the economy, politics, education - both public and private - and training partners is fundamental. »

Philippe Miauton

Director, Vaud Chamber of Commerce and Industry

« Geneva needs digital skills to meet demand. Ecole 42 Lausanne demonstrates that private initiative can meet societal needs by offering training to people from all backgrounds who do not have access to academic training. We hope that the economic players will support this project to ensure its long-term financing. »

Olivier Sandoz

Managing Director, Fédération des Entreprises Romandes Geneva

Luc Maurer

Managing Partner, Camptocamp
