Software Development & Web Design in Lausanne
Software development, web design and hosting for Lausanne's EPFL spin-offs, hotel schools, sport bodies and lakeside businesses, delivered remotely from Bucharest.
Lausanne, with about 145,000 people, is the Olympic capital, home to the International Olympic Committee and many sport federations, with EPFL, the University of Lausanne and the CHUV hospital. Hotel schools such as EHL and the lakeside Ouchy district feed a hospitality economy. EPFL spin-offs give the city a steady flow of young technology firms.
What a business in Lausanne has to get right
Switzerland is not in the EU, so NIS2 does not apply. The revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nDSG, in French LPD) has applied since 1 September 2023 under the FDPIC (PFPDT). Vaud sites are normally written in French, and online sellers must show identity and contact details.
How we work with Lausanne
GRADAX works from one office in Bucharest and delivers to Lausanne remotely, in a time zone one hour ahead of yours. Meetings happen by video, and sites can be written in French and English. Hosting runs in EU datacentres in Germany and Finland, and EU countries are on Switzerland's list of adequate destinations for personal data.
