Vom Alltagsproblem zur Innovation
Vom Alltagsproblem zur Innovation
Die «Schweiz am Wochenende» hat eine unserer Technik- und Informatikwochen begleitet – und zeigt, wie Jugendliche aus alltäglichen Problemen eigene Ideen entwickeln.
Der Auftrag: Ein Problem finden und überlegen, wie man es lösen könnte. Am Kollegium St. Fidelis in Stans wurde daraufhin getüftelt, diskutiert, gebaut und gepitcht. Dazu kamen Einblicke bei Unternehmen und Hochschulen während der Projektwoche.
Genau hier setzen die Technik- und Informatikwochen von IngCH an: Sie machen MINT erlebbar, zeigen unterschiedliche Berufs- und Studienwege auf und unterstützen Jugendliche dabei, ihre eigenen Interessen und Fähigkeiten zu entdecken.

General meeting and members' event at Levitronix
Last Thursday, our General Assembly, followed by a member event, took place at Levitronix.
Members and partner organisations looked back on the activities of the past year and set important priorities for the continued promotion of young talent in STEM in Switzerland.
We are particularly pleased to welcome three new members to the IngCH Board: Bruno Hinterberger (UBS), Moritz Ernst (SBB) and Roman Hiestand (Accenture). Together with the existing Board members, they will continue to advance IngCH’s work and strengthen our commitment to fostering the next generation of STEM talent.
Following the General Assembly, participants gained exciting insights into the world of Levitronix. The Zurich-based high-tech company develops magnetically levitated pumps and motors for demanding applications, including semiconductor manufacturing and the biopharmaceutical industry.
The event concluded with an apéro, providing an opportunity for exchange and discussions on fostering the next generation of STEM talent.

Alexandre Alahi
Alexandre Alahi is an associate professor at EPFL leading the Visual Intelligence for Transportation laboratory (VITA). Before joining EPFL in 2017, he was a Post-doc and Research Scientist at Stanford University. His research lies at the intersection of Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Robotics applied to transportation & mobility. He works on the theoretical challenges and practical applications of socially-aware Artificial Intelligence, i.e., systems equipped with perception and social intelligence. His research enables systems to detect, track, and predict human motion dynamics at all scales.
In 2022&2023, Alexandre was recognized as the top 100 Most Influential Scholar in Computer Vision over the past 10 years. His work on human motion prediction received the editor’s choice award from the journal Image and vision computing (2021). His work on human pose estimation received an honourable mention at an ICCV workshop (2019). Finally, his research was transferred to a startup detecting and tracking more than 100 million pedestrians in public spaces (including train stations).
