Collaboration with Uzufly – Interview with Romain Kirchhoff.

Who are you and what is the story behind Uzufly?

I am Roman Kirchhoff, an entrepreneur with a passion for drone technology and its potential in the field of 3D modelling. I was born in Geneva and, after graduating from EPFL and gaining some initial professional experience with drones in London, I chose to create my own company in Switzerland. Uzufly was born in October 2020 from the interest of a municipality that was looking to improve its communication with its population. So, we focused our initial efforts on developing photorealistic 3D modelling using drones. Over time, we have assembled a team of experts who share the same passion, and, today, we work with several municipalities in French-speaking Switzerland as well as many private companies. Uzufly now has 7 members dedicated to the continuous evolution of our company and our 3D products.

Why the Boost my Start-up Challenge (BMSC) and what is your feedback on the event?

Participating in the Boost My Start-Up Challenge was a great opportunity for us to present our project to a knowledgeable audience and to refine our pitch in front of some renowned investors. It was also a unique opportunity to gain direct access to BG Consulting Engineers’ management team, who have valuable expertise to share.

What are your expectations from the collaboration with BG? Will you be able to take advantage of BG’s network for your future development?

We are convinced that our 3D technology has wide application in various sectors, including engineering. BG has extensive expertise in Switzerland and France that we hope to make use of to further develop our products and services. We have already benefited from BG‘s network, which has enabled us to work on a concrete project in Paris, and we are currently discussing new opportunities for collaboration.
