Vivier

What Vivier does

Le Vivier Technology Park is a privately operated, single-site industrial technology park located in the Villaz-St-Pierre industrial zone in the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland. The facility offers flexible serviced offices (individual and open-space configurations) and industrial workshops (lightweight and heavyweight categories) on flexible lease terms to entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs operating in industrial engineering. Spaces are modularly designed with natural daylight and high-quality finishes, and a range of services is bundled into the lease at no incremental charge. The core technology underpinning the offering is the physical infrastructure itself — purpose-built workshop and office capacity within a Swiss industrial zone — rather than any software platform or proprietary technology stack.

The park also operates a 28–100 person auditorium with two breakout salons and a private terrace, marketed for corporate meetings, general assemblies, and professional events, with catering handled exclusively by partner Novae. Revenue is generated through two streams: recurring office and workshop leasing (classified as subscription-style recurring revenue) and event venue rental (classified as professional services revenue). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective tenants and event organizers are routed via phone, email, or website forms. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-tenant: no intermediaries, no broker channel, and a bilingual French/English website supports outreach to Swiss and international entrepreneurs.

The tenant ecosystem comprises approximately 14 named companies — Asyril, Bionomous, CP Automation, CP Recycling Management, Epos, Firecom Swiss, KVD Vivier, Maxi Network, Nivalis Group, Novae, Pakem, Regenhu, Sech, and Venturi — all operating in industrial engineering verticals such as automation, robotics, recycling, additive manufacturing, and industrial services. Ownership, funding, founding date, headcount, and financial details are not disclosed in the available source material. The entity operates as an independent private Swiss technology park with no parent company and no public listing.
