Innovation Lab with the University of St. Gallen

Six start-ups selected by the HSG incubator are collaborating with 15 technological talents from 42 Lausanne and Zurich. For three days, they will co-develop digital prototypes and explore new forms of collaboration, with the aim of learning from each other and moving forward together.

Issues

  • 42 students need to understand and realise the individual wishes of start-ups in 48 hours.

  • Start-ups, university and 42 students need to collaborate and integrate new ways of working.

Technical solutions

  • Develop a prototype capable of fitting into the existing cantonal IT environment.

  • Digitise the handwritten data of employees and detainees in compliance with security rules and the legal framework.

  • Propose an intuitive, easy-to-use tool suitable for users with poor digital skills.

Results

Cristina Bucher, managing director 42 Zürich

"The emphasis was not on competition or finished products, but on teamwork, diversity of perspectives and concrete application scenarios. Participants brought different methodological approaches - from entrepreneurial thinking to technical implementation - and complemented each other in agile teams."
