Tucked away in the hills of Ticino, FEMTOPRINT is quietly reshaping the future of microfabrication. From its headquarters in Agno, the company has become a global leader in ultrafast laser processing for 3D glass microdevices. Despite being at the cutting edge of technologies used in critical applications worldwide, FEMTOPRINT maintains a low public profile while enabling breakthrough solutions in medicine, photonics, quantum technologies, and beyond.

As part of the HSG Alumni series Hidden Champions, this event offers a rare opportunity to explore a Swiss deep-tech company that exemplifies precision, entrepreneurship, and innovation on a global scale. Participants will connect directly with FEMTOPRINT’s leadership and technical teams to gain unique insights into their technology, business, and culture.

FEMTOPRINT SA

FEMTOPRINT is a Swiss high-tech company specializing in advanced femtosecond laser processing for 3D glass microdevices. The company provides contract development and manufacturing services to visionary partners across industries such as medical, biotech, optics, photonics, quantum, semiconductors, aerospace, AR/VR, energy, and watchmaking.

FEMTOPRINT benefits from close ties to top Swiss research institutions including EPFL, ETH Zurich, SUPSI, USI, and EOC. This academic ecosystem, combined with FEMTOPRINT’s multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers, enables the company to solve complex development and integration challenges — with a strong focus on scalability and industrialization.

In 2022, FEMTOPRINT expanded with a subsidiary in Neuchâtel, dedicated to developing photonic and optical glass components for OEMs in sectors such as telecommunications, quantum, and semiconductors.
