Nicolas Henchoz - Human-Centered Innovation
Episode 2
Thursday, 4 September, 2025
In this episode, we sit down with Nicolas Henchoz, the founding Director of the EPFL+ECAL Lab, the design research centre at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland. Nicolas wears many hats - engineer, art director, curator, researcher, and author - and he is passionate about turning cutting-edge technology into meaningful human experiences. He talks about how disruptive innovation and hands-on experimentation can reveal what really drives adoption and helps ideas stick. This conversation was hosted by Thomas Schneider, Consul General of Switzerland in Vancouver.
