Mining rare earth metals from electronic waste

ETH researchers are developing a process inspired by nature that efficiently recovers europium from old fluorescent lamps. The approach could lead to the long-awaited recycling of rare earth metals.

First spin-off at the SLF

The RAMMS software for modeling avalanches, debris flows and rockfalls is being incorporated into a specially founded AG.

This researcher reads rivers

Jessica Droujko’s start-up, Riverkin, measures the water quality of freshwater ecosystems and helps quantify and respond to risks such as floods and pollution. Thanks to an ETH Pioneer Fellowship, her work is now picking up speed.

How the ETH start-up ecosystem works

In 2023, a record-breaking 43 spin-offs were founded at ETH Zurich. Why are ETH spin-offs so successful? Tracing the typical path of a start-up.

From solar fuel and anti-fog glasses to manufacturing innovation

The numerous spin-offs and patents generated at ETH Zurich are the driving force behind innovation in the Swiss economy. We present five of them.

EPFL startups forge ahead despite the economic headwinds

EPFL startups raised CHF 470 million in 2023 – a record figure if we exclude 2021, an exceptional year with three IPOs. A total of 23 startups were created in 2023, and over a third of them by women.
