IAV Engineering Ltd was founded in 1997 in Ecublens by Vincent Chritin, with Eric Van Lancker joining him from the second year onwards, as a spin-off from EPFL's electromagnetic and acoustic laboratory. After winning the BVC foundation's scientific innovation prize in 1998 (FIT), they created a limited liability company with a cumulated turnover of approximately 20 MCHF in 2013 (1.83 MCHF in 2013)... From the very beginning IAV strives towards creating solutions in environmental surveillance (in particular in meteorology and natural dangers), starting with FlowCapt, a measuring sensor for snow flow transported by wind. This sensor being essential in avalanche management, it is now integrated in international climatological research. This patented sensor, although it's a niche instrument, has become a world-wide reference and forms the basis of the commercialization of two varieties the market of this technology has been waiting for, the acoustic rain gauge RainFlow as well as the «..
