Nowadays, cities face the ever-rising challenge of ensuring security, be it a low crime rate, reliable infrastructure, or safe traffic. At the same time, however, cities have less and less money to provide more services. Securaxis SA, a start-up in Geneva and the first incubatee of the Swiss BIC of CERN Technologies, is working on a very special solution to this problem. Using CERN’s unique know-how in large-scale data-gathering and control, it has developed a novel acoustic monitoring system for smart cities. In his interview with PARK INNOVAARE, Securaxis CEO Glenn Meleder talks about his invention, its main fields of application, and the way the Swiss BIC program has affected his business.
