Technopoles are technology parks intended to promote, within a specific geographical perimeter, synergies between innovative companies through the pooling of premises, technical infrastructures and skills. As a result, they are an excellent springboard for innovative projects.
The canton of Vaud has eight innovation parks, most of which include business reception buildings and incubators to promote business creation. These benefit from preferential rental conditions for a limited period of time as well as reception and entertainment services managed by each park.
The incubators offer additional services to facilitate start-ups and to connect with Innovaud’s business or coaching networks.
Managed by a dream team, the 8 parks in Vaud, although open to all, each specialise in key areas for the Canton.
