EuroTube Foundation

The EuroTube Foundation stands at the forefront of research in high-speed transportation technologies such as the hyperloop. As a research institution recognized of “national importance” by SERI under Art.15 RIPA, EuroTube is dedicated to advancing both theoretical and practical aspects of future transport systems, with the mission to drive innovation through rigorous applied research and development. The R&D team's comprehensive methodology encompasses the design of transportation subsystems, simulation of their operations, and thorough analysis of their environmental impact and economic viability through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), to identify and exploit the benefits of the proposed technologies.

Nevertheless, this infrastructure is not limited to hyperloop research but extends its capabilities to sectors like civil, aerospace, telecommunications, robotics, materials engineering and current state-of-the-art transport systems, marking it as a versatile and invaluable asset in the R&D activity of EuroTube and of its academic and industrial partners across Switzerland and Europe. The availability of a real scale test site in Switzerland and, in particular, in the Innovation Park Zürich, amplifies its impact on technological innovation and it is a clear opportunity for researchers and companies for development and direct validation, opening to the possibility of rapidly iterating innovative solutions in a controlled environment.
