Core offering

Cluster Eau Lémanique is a non-profit association (loi 1901) operating as a Franco-Swiss water sector cluster around Lake Geneva. It delivers simple membership services to enterprises, research and training organizations, and public institutions, plus project-based mandates for water management projects. Its portfolio includes the Skills4Water digital career platform, the ESA_Lab@LEMAN satellite monitoring partnership, the Campus Connecté du Léman remote-learning campus, and operational projects such as the DiMark early warning system and IoT sensor networks for lake water quality.

Product overview

Cluster Eau Lémanique is an environmental association organized around four thematic axes: intelligent water use, water as energy vector, vegetation engineering, and water biodiversity. The organization's portfolio includes digital platforms (Skills 4 Water for career orientation), satellite-based monitoring services (ESA_Lab@LEMAN), IoT sensor networks for water quality, educational services (Campus Connecté du Léman), and physical exhibitions. Projects like DiMark provide early warning systems for Alpine lakes, while initiatives such as the Caravane de l'eau focus on public awareness. The association also supports ecological engineering through its willow nursery and conducts environmental research partnerships with ESA.
