NCCR DFAB Spin-Offs

To date, ten companies have spun out of the NCCR Digital Fabrication, building on the knowledge and expertise developed within the programme. Supported by our Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT) Officer, these ventures reflect the NCCR DFAB’s commitment to transforming academic excellence into practical solutions that advance bespoke design, sustainable construction, worker safety, productivity, and the creation of new products and employment opportunities.

Discover the spin-off companies through our portrait series, which offers insights into their work and introduces their innovations.
