The department will demonstrate its particular expertise in digital solutions of the future at the largest technology fair in Europe.
The Lucerne School of Computer Science and Information Technology will present itself at GITEX Europe at Messe Berlin from 21 to 23 May 2025, as the leading practice-based, interdisciplinary and future-oriented center for information technology in Central Switzerland. It will be present at the SWISS Pavilion together with its startup promotion initiative Smart-up and the startup Twojo.
According to information from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, its Lucerne School of Computer Science and Information Technology based in Rotkreuz in the canton of Zug focuses on developing solutions for the digital world of tomorrow in its degree programs and continuing education as well as in its research and services. The fields of applications range from cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, immersive technologies and blockchain to robotics, data science and human-centered design.
It will also introduce its Blockchain Lab which is reportedly Switzerland’s first university research laboratory for distributed ledger technologies at the SWISS Pavilion (Stand D90) in Hall 3.2. This concentrates on Web3 technologies and the development of secure decentralized systems. The university’s Immersive Realities Center that combines virtual and real learning is to be presented as well.
The Smart-up initiative supports current and former students and staff in launching their business ventures and aims to nurture entrepreneurial talent. One startup created through this is Twojo. It will be at the SWISS Pavilion to showcase its crime scene photography app SPUFO, which is already being used by the Zurich Forensic Science Institute. This allows even those who are not specialists to capture fingerprints in a better way.
