About CHIC

The China Hardware Innovation Camp (CHIC) aims to open students’  eyes to the new realities of innovation in emerging markets.

To do so, students from EPFL, ecal and HEC Lausanne work in interdisciplinary teams on developing a connected device during the Spring semester (14 weeks). We then bring them to Shenzhen’s vibrant hacker and maker scene in July and have them finalize their prototypes and small-batch produce their devices.
