Making solar energy affordable

Laurent obtained his master in Micro and Nanosystems at EPFL in 2012. During his master thesis at Logitech USA on indoor photovoltaics, he developed a strong interest for solar energy and realized the need for innovations in this field. His various experiences in biomedical (Biocartis), watchmaking (Rolex) and automotive (Melexis) industries allowed him to work on multiple technologies and problems, while giving him some business insights. He is responsible for supervising the execution and defining the strategy of Insolight.

Mathieu graduated in 2010 with a master of science in Micro and Nanosystems at EPFL. He accomplished his master thesis at UC Berkeley on microfluidic devices for biomedical applications. After a first entrepreneurship experience in web development, he worked during 4 years as an application engineer at Melexis, where he developed a broad set of technical skills, while co-authoring several patents and publications. As the CTO of Insolight, Mathieu is responsible for supervising R&D and IP management.

Florian graduated at EPFL in 2013 with a master in Robotics and Autonomous Systems, and a minor in Space Technologies.
