We are excited to announce that we won the Vaud International Business Awards (PVEI) for Innovation, being one of the three local businesses that was honored with the 12th edition of PVEI. Our company won over the jury with our ultra-high precision sprayer ARA that uses plant-by-plant AI to accurately detect weeds during crop treatment.
Award Celebrations in Lausanne
Ecorobotix was honored at IMD in Lausanne on October 28, 2025 with more than 300 people attending the ceremony. Aurélien Demaurex, one of the co-founders, was present to receive this prize on behalf of the company from the hands of Isabelle Moret (Vaud State Councillor), Philippe Miauton (Managing Director of the Vaud Chamber of Commerce and Industry - CVCI) and Samuel Calani (Head of communications, Innovaud). Our mission to revolutionize the agriculture sector to improve environmental sustainability by reducing the use of phytosanitary products and minimizing soil impact has convinced the jury to choose us as one of the companies to be awarded in the “Innovation” category.
We would like to congratulate Dubois Dépraz for being awarded in the “Industry” category for being a key player in the field of complicated watches and watchmaking subcontracting, which is a rarity and SolarStratos for receiving the Jury`s special price because of their innovative solar-powered aircraft that promotes solar energy and energy efficiency. We also extend our gratitude to all the attendees for celebrating this honor with us. This Award motivates us to keep pushing forward and innovate faster to provide tools that help improve the efficiency and finances of farmers, as well as benefiting the environment.
About Vaud International Business Avards
The Vaud International Business Awards are handed out every fall jointly by the Vaud Department of Economy, Innovation, Employment and Heritage (DEIEP), the Vaud Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CVCI) and Innovaud. Introduced in 2014, this award is designed to recognize companies that have their headquarters in Vaud and have successfully expanded internationally. The awards showcase companies that play a role in boosting Vaud’s image and diversifying the canton’s economy. This year’s Innovation award was handed out to a company with an innovative product or business model. The Industry award went to a company that produces goods or services in Vaud. And finally, the Special Jury Award was reserved for a company that particularly impressed the selection panel.
