Nico Wyss, graduate of EPFL's Master in Management, Technology and Entrepreneurship, has received the Prix LITRA 2026 for his Master's thesis analyzing regional differences in the cost recovery ratio of Swiss regional passenger transport. The award was presented in Bern during the 90th anniversary celebrations of LITRA, in the presence of Federal Councilor Karin Keller-Sutter and LITRA President Martin Candinas. The thesis was supervised by Professor Thomas A. Weber (EPFL) and Marie Degrange-Touzin de Martignac (FOT).

The establishment of the Management of Technology & Entrepreneurship Institute demonstrates a commitment to advancing knowledge and understanding in the areas of technology management, entrepreneurship, and public policy. Institutes like these play a crucial role in promoting research, fostering innovation, and developing programs that equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in these fields.

By combining these three domains, the Management of Technology & Entrepreneurship Institute aims to create a comprehensive understanding of how technology, entrepreneurship, and public policy intersect and influence each other. This interdisciplinary approach is crucial for addressing the challenges and opportunities in today’s rapidly evolving business and societal landscape.
