For Organizations
We will help you to take the first steps with any engineering-related idea or challenge you might have. A Feasibility Study will generate validated learnings and prototypes that help you to make informed decisions on how to proceed.
Workshops (4 - 8 hours) - To identify the biggest levers.
We bring together ETH’s creative minds to structure your challenge, brainstorm solutions or potential applications of new technologies in your corporation, and define concrete next steps.
Hackathons (1 - 3 days) - To build an MVP.
We build a minimum viable product with limited time and money and enable you to test your idea without over-engineering. Our hackathons are a great starting point for an extended feasibility study.
Feasibility studies (3 - 6 months) - To iterate and go deep.
We take an agile approach to explore your challenge in depth and build prototypes to test a broad range of solution and create validated learnings.
Design and Technology Lab (3 months)
In tandem projects, interdisciplinary teams of two (industrial design ZHdK, mechanical engineering ETH) work on a task from industry for three months and jointly develop a meaningful product concept.

Case Example "VarioJect" with Janssen Pharmaceutical
Janssen Pharmaceutical is looking to re-collect and recycle their auto-injector products after use. They tasked the Feasibility Lab to identify the simplest, scalable method to open and disassemble the devices. We identified mechanical weakspots to crack-open the devices and build a prototype disassembly system.
