Les petits déjeuners des PME et start-up sont organisés par le Service de l’économie, du logement et du tourisme (SELT) en collaboration avec les partenaires de la promotion économique du canton de Vaud. Ils ont en principe lieu une fois par mois dans différents locaux mis à disposition par les partenaires.
Les petits déjeuners des PME & start-up ont pour objectifs de :
* Présenter des thématiques concernant directement les PME & la création d’entreprises (formation, apport de contenu et de conseils)
* Apporter des témoignages d’entreprises concernées et ayant vécu la thématique concernée
* Offrir aux PME & créateurs d’entreprises la possibilité de poser des questions à des spécialistes en la matière
* Favoriser le networking et les échanges
Ce matin, un Petit-Déjeuner PME Start-up a été organisé au Parc Scientifique de l’EPFL.
Nous proposons de mettre l’éclairage sur deux présentations particulièrement intéressantes:
- Switcher et leur outil web de traçabilité hyper transparent de fabrication de T-shirt, bleuffant!

(revoir également la vidéo au venture-ideas où le CEO de Switcher était intervenu).
- l’imprimerie “3.0″ et socialement responsable Gasser:

Each year, Laurent Haug and his team organize the main Lift event in Geneva at the CICG. This year Lift11 was a three day event gathering one thousand persons around the topic “what can the future do for you?”. Some people say that this conference is only for geeks (article in french in Marianne) and I do not agree with that. This conference is more than a simple tech event. Lift is a community of people.
Enjoy watching and sharing the best of Lift11 on klewel.com/lift11:
This conference is advanced in terms of organization, design and concept in the same trend as the famous TED events:
- Organization: idea of co-creation, many workshops directly organized by participants
- Design: all the graphical design is performed by bread-and-butter, video capture by lumen8
- Concept: all the videos are publically available, this year live with livestream in collaboration with Thierry Weber and on-demand with Klewel.
Here are few inspiring talks we particularly enjoyed:
The first time participant session with testimonials from addicted Lifters.
The Twitter democracy by Matthias Lüfkens who manages the online communication of the World Economic Forum.
Matthias Lüfkens from the WEF
The Alp ICT venture night and start-up presentations with the conclusion by Robert Scoble, the famous american blogger who knows almost everything about emerging technologies and related companies (watch also his interesting Lift 2006 talk).
This year again, Klewel is collaborating with the Lift team for webcasting the Lift11 event at the International Convention center of Geneva, Switzerland.
Starting our collaboration with Laurent Haug and his team in 2008 for the Lift Venture night, one year later we were in charge of capturing some of the 2009 Lift workshops. Last year in 2010, we provided our webcasting solution and we re-iterate our partnership this year. We look forward to a great event!
For those of you who do not know Lift conference series try to answer the questions: What can the future do for you?
Lift works to identify and anticipate current and emerging usages of digital technologies through research, events, publications and services.

Congratulations first! …
Dr. Maxime Monod successfully defended his PhD Thesis from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL, Lausanne) in front of the jury on the 30th of June 2010 and at his public defense on July 30th, that is last friday. His thesis director was Prof. Rachid Guerraoui at EPFL. 
His thesis is entitled “Live [video] Streaming with Gossip” where the gossip paradigm is “a type of data dissemination that relies on random communication between participants in a Peer-to-peer (P2P) system”.
… and a very warm welcome!
Starting today, we are delighted to welcome Maxime. He will work as “Software Architect” closely with Vincent Bozzo as part of the Klewel Research and Development team. Maxime will be responsible, in a first phase, of the upcoming Klewel portal’s back-end server architecture. During his PhD, he was in the Distributed Programming Laboratory – LPD, School of Computer & Communication Sciences – I&C – of EPFL. Maxime is the laureate of the Best Paper Award at the 13th International Conference On Principles Of Distributed Systems (OPODIS’09). He wrote more than 10 journal articles and conference papers in the best conferences of this field. During his M.Sc. from EPFL, he did a six-month project at the McGill University, Canada. Once again, welcome!
