State Secretary Jörg Gasser visits LakeDiamond at EPFL
We had the privilege to welcome Jörg Gasser, State Secretary for International Finance, for a presentation and visit of LakeDiamond at EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne).
Transcript:
Pascal Gallo: What is your favorite application we have here at LakeDiamond?
Jörg Gasser : Well the whole business model is fascinating but what I think is the most interesting, in my personal point of view, is the laser technology because I think it opens up a whole range of industrial applications that seems to be very interesting to me personally
Pascal Gallo: How do you think Switzerland can further support startups like LakeDiamond during their growth phase?
Jörg Gasser: We need to maintain a regulatory framework that allows companies like yours to flourish and to grow; that means you have to put up a regulatory framework that allows you to try out different business models to see what will work in the market and what will not work. It cannot be that a regulatory framework limits your opportunities and I think that this is our main goal.
Pascal Gallo: What do you wish for LakeDiamond?
Jörg Gasser: Go to the stars and try to reach the goals you have set for yourself
