Meanwhile<\/a>, a French robotics company founded in 2017 and specializing in collaborative mobile robots for intralogistics transport, has established MEANWHILE Swiss Ltd. at the Marly Innovation Center (MIC<\/a>) in Fribourg. The move marks the company\u2019s first international subsidiary and a strategic step in its expansion across Switzerland, where it serves clients in the luxury watchmaking, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and semiconductor electronics sectors.<\/p>\n Fribourg was selected for its position on the linguistic border between French- and German-speaking Switzerland, providing an ideal base to serve both markets. The establishment was supported by GGBa<\/a>, which connected Meanwhile with the MIC and local stakeholders in the canton of Fribourg, alongside the Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes regional economic agency and Bpifrance, which provided financing and risk-coverage mechanisms to facilitate the international expansion.<\/p>\n In the video below, Meanwhile Founder and CEO Sacha Stojanovic explains the company\u2019s decision to establish in Western Switzerland, the role played by GGBa, the Fribourg Development Agency (FDA<\/a>) and the MIC ecosystem, and Meanwhile\u2019s vision for growth in the Swiss market, including a growing collaboration with EPFL.<\/p>\n
