Accelerate your startup project with the support of successful founders and industry leaders! Meet and be inspired by Margaux Peltier, co-founder and CEO of Enerdrape.

 

The series of three workshops is based on a mission and challenge approach to enhance the validation and execution of your business case. Our goal is to support the best startup talents in Switzerland in order to build world-class startups the fastest way possible.

For the first workshop, we are delighted to welcome Margaux Peltier:
  • Margaux Peltier is an engineer and scientific entrepreneur with an MSc in Civil Engineering and Sustainability from EPFL Lausanne. In 2018, she joined EPFL's Soil Mechanics Laboratory to further her research into integrated geo-energy systems. In 2021, she co-founded enerdrape, an EPFL start-up bringing to market the first non-invasive geothermal panel technology, simplifying access to shallow urban geothermal resources.
  • Margaux has been recognized in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and has received several grants and awards for her groundbreaking contributions to the enerdrape solution. Before embarking on the enerdrape adventure, she gained valuable experience working in engineering and architectural firms in Switzerland and Canada, while actively participating in various local and international building energy projects.
Apply if you have a nascent business idea or already an early-stage startup. Student, doctoral candidate, postdoc or member of staff at EPFL, or any other Swiss university carrying an innovative high-tech startup project are also more than welcome to join the program.
