Volv Global will be exhibiting at Faces of Industrial Research (FIR) 2026 on Friday, February 20th, 2026, at the EPFL’s Forum Rolex. FIR is a one-day symposium designed to spotlight scientific projects led by Swiss life-science companies, while creating a practical bridge between academia and industry through short talks, panel discussion, and networking across the day.
We’ll be there with a Volv Global stand, and several colleagues will attend to meet PhD students, postdocs, and Master’s students interested in industrial research, translational science, and health-tech careers. If you’re exploring where your skills can have real clinical and societal impact, come and talk to us about how privacy-first, population-scale analytics can help healthcare systems recognise difficult-to-diagnose disease earlier and improve pathways – work that depends on collaboration across data partners, clinicians, and innovators.
Our CEO and Founder Christopher Rudolf – an EPFL EMBA professor – will also speak in day’s agenda, sharing his career story, alongside an overview of relevant research activities. We’d love to connect with attendees who want to understand what industrial research looks like in practice, what skills translate best from academia, and how to build a career at the interface of rigorous science and real-world health outcomes.
