Enerdrape Co-founder Margaux Peltier: 'Initially, I was asked if I was the marketing director'

At Le Temps, we are proud to highlight innovative Swiss solutions like Enerdrape, which tackle climate change head-on. This company, born from research at the prestigious EPFL, exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking entrepreneurship that Switzerland is known for.

Margaux Peltier's journey as co-founder and director is particularly inspiring. Her experience, facing initial skepticism in a male-dominated field, underscores the persistent challenges women in STEM can encounter. However, her success in leading Enerdrape demonstrates resilience and capability, proving that competence transcends gender.

Enerdrape's thermal panels offer a discreet yet powerful alternative to traditional HVAC systems, integrating seamlessly into urban infrastructure like parking garages. This not only reduces environmental impact but also offers a practical, scalable solution for sustainable energy. It's a testament to Swiss ingenuity, turning everyday spaces into sources of clean energy.

While international coverage might focus on the technological breakthrough, our perspective at Le Temps emphasizes the local impact and the entrepreneurial spirit driving this innovation. We celebrate how Swiss companies are not just participating in the green transition but leading it, creating tangible solutions that benefit both the environment and the economy.
