SwissINSO is on the Move
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
- SwissINSO, a major innovator in the application of
solar-power to water purification/desalination and heating/cooling of
buildings, announces its move to Switzerland's prestigious EPFL Science Park,
joining an exclusive club of world-class players.
SwissINSO SA is proud to announce its move to the prestigious R&D
Science Park at EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne), the Swiss
Silicon Valley. The move to this renowned technology hub reflects the
success of the company's significant product developments and rapid
business growth.
SwissINSO will work within the scientific community of 300
laboratories, 4000 researchers and 7000 students. This further strengthens
the company's commitment to bringing advanced, 100%-green solar technology to
the marketplace.
SwissINSO is in good company as it joins the roster of 80+
companies, ranging from start-ups to some of the world's most prominent
high-tech names.
A Long-Standing Research Partnership
"This move was a natural outgrowth of the partnership we developed with
LESO, the solar applied research laboratory of EPFL", said Dr. Yves Ducommun,
CEO of SwissINSO and a PhD from EPFL. "SwissINSO is proud to have financed
two new positions at LESO, a post-doctoral scientist and a doctorate student,
as part of its commitment to practical applications of advanced solar energy
technology.
We believe that these knowledge-sharing initiatives and technological
partnerships will help accelerate the technical and commercial development of
new green products for which we have a distinct competitive edge", he added.
About SwissINSO: SwissINSO utilizes its proprietary
intellectual property assets to provide environmentally friendly, innovative
solar-energy solutions and related technologies to meet growing global needs.
The company's goal is to become a world leader in turn-key solutions using
renewable energy for the purification and desalination of water and the air
SwissINSO currently has two core businesses:
- KRYSTALL (TM) is the world's first 100% solar-powered
turnkey water purification system enclosed within standard 20-ft (6,1m) or
40-ft. (12,2m) containers. Easily transportable, Krystall uses patented
reverse-osmosis technology to purify 100,000 litres of contaminated water or to
desalinate 50,000 litres of seawater per day into high-quality water for
drinking or agriculture, with low operating and maintenance costs.
Krystall is perfectly suited for servicing remote towns and
villages, hotels, humanitarian and relief situations, and turnkey camps.
- KLYMAA (TM) uses state-of-the-art nano-composite solar coating
technology, developed exclusively with EPFL, to heat and cool buildings via
solar-collector glass facade panels. These colored, glazed thermal "curtain
walls" are opaque to the eye but transparent to sunlight, allowing as much
transmission of the sun's energy as clear glass. Available in a wide variety
of colors and treatments, these solar panels now offer architects and
engineers design possibilities previously unthinkable.
About EPFL: Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), is one of
the premier academic institutions in Switzerland and Europe. Charged with
three missions -- education, research and technology transfer at the highest
international level, EPFL is associated with several specialized research
institutes. Together with its sister institution in Zurich, the school is
among the pre-eminent educational and applied research establishments in the
world. EPFL is dedicated to pursuing innovative projects that combine
fundamental and applied research to the advancement of science.
