Swisscom and EPFL partner in the digital revolution

16. Be it in the world of work or in our daily routines, the digital revolution is in the process of transforming our way of life and our economy in a fundamental and lasting way. This permanent transformation is at the heart of a strategic partnership between Swisscom and the Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL). With the creation of a Swisscom Digital Lab on the EPFL campus, this partnership is seeking to establish a digitalisation competence centre, taking advantage of EPFL's innovative ecosystem and Swisscom's expertise in the field, to meet the challenges of an increasingly connected society. Information and communication technologies are going from revolution to revolution. From the importance of social networks in people's everyday lives, which was inconceivable just ten years ago, to the transformation of our methods of production and consumption, more and more people - both young and old - and objects are now interconnected at all times and in all places. This digital revolution is fundamentally transforming our economy and society.
