The ETH Industry eWeek 2020 will give you an insight into research at ETH Zurich and its connection to industry. Here is a selection of projects you can expect to see and a link to register for the event.  

ETH spin-off dimpora produces sustainable membranes for outdoor clothing that do not pollute nature. Studies have revealed that toxic membrane residues are not just found in remote lakes or mountains, but also in the blood of wild animals such as polar bears.

Engineers from ETH Zurich have created a platform that determines how the CO2 emissions of diesel engines can be reduced based on engine measurements and tests with various fuels. We talked to project manager Dr. Christophe Barro.

Many companies have replaced manual labour with machines and robots. However, there are still many jobs where full automation is not possible or simply not desired. Auxivo, an ETH spin-off from the Rehabilitation Engineering Lab, develops exoskeletons for industrial applications to support workers who frequently lift and carry heavy objects.
