In November 2019, Swiss Federal Railways opened a innovation unit at EPFL’s Innovation Park, further deepening its ties with the School. The Innocell builds on a formal relationship that dates back to 2014, when EPFL and Swiss Federal Railways signed a cooperation agreement. That arrangement has given rise to a series of major research projects, including some funded by Innosuisse.
