I'm still here to talk about this episode, so it must have been a success. Also, FIRST!!

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

Wow. Just wow. You really did us dirty with the yodeling stuff. I am offended.

[@AshleeVanceHelloWorld]

What differences did you see vs the bay area?

[@marcr7583]

Love the video! Cool how you show that Switzerland has actual very innovative industry! (Not just lazy finance stuff and chocolate, cheese, watches)…. Thanks

[@andyy6481]

should put the company links up, easy for people to look them up.

[@akmanarda]

This series is one of the new gems that come from large media companies rather than small operations but still have the spirit of those small operations. I love it.

[@AL-jz3jv]

What is so "gem" about?

[@Skunkhunt_42]

I won't disagree

[@peachtransport3102]

Has anyone got those Anthony Bourdain vibes form this?

[@thecryptochase1653]

Right away. I haven't seen that in another show since. One reason I started watching more!@@peachtransport3102

I was so lucky to meet Daniela Marino in Switzerland. What an inspiring personality this woman is. Cutiss can change the World to a better place. It is beyond fantastic to help people on a scale Cutiss can. My biggest respect to Daniela, Fabienne and all the smart people behind Cutiss.

[@maralynnej]

thats amazing!

[@ollievw3450]

I trained to be a helicopter pilot. The first couple of times they only let you ‘fly’ half an hour straight and level and you come out exhausted and sweat-drenched, but once you have got it, they are a lot of fun to fly

[@Vic4ful]

Such a great content! As an Italian though I'm double sided: on one hand I'm very happy of seeing some fellow Italians doing such innovative things, right on the edge of innovation. On the other hand it's so sad seeing them doing this in Switzerland, just because Italy is not capable to retain talents and is not the right platform to let innovation thrive...so unlucky.

[@richardconway6425]

It's fun and interesting to see an American reacting to Europe. Especially someone like Ash. To see his expectations confounded or confirmed. Anyone who has ever been in a small flying machine will know just how terrifying that helicopter ride must have been. I'm sure the pilot was very skilled, but I think Scott Manley summed up it up best when he described a helicopter as "100 points of failure brought together and made to fly" ...

[@robertlee8805]

COOL Sciences. Love Switzerland 🇨🇭 . Would LOVE to that country to GROW for sure. Spectacular!

[@kwektans]

Ashlee always finds the most original stories. I'm always educated after his videos.

Ashlee (and the crew) always make top-notch films.

The bicycle ride and mind expanding trip at the end was an hint at the swiss inventor of LSD Albert Hofmann who rode his bike home after the first time he ever tried acid. lol

[@AshleeVanceHelloWorld]

You will not be disappointed by Part 2

[@danielash1704]

From a burned skin to a new skin that has elasticity in the production of mindfulness in the world we live on wonderful and magnificent to have such beautiful and talented people ❤ ♥

[@cryptofxalgorithms]

wow, your images are so high quality and high definition. Great video

[@planetaryhealthfirstmarsnext]

Great show! Fascinating seeing Drones do inventory management. Love the VR Simulator too. Impressive what Swiss does to promote R&D

[@ben_sch]

Honestly this is one of the most intriguing, entertaining and original (content-wise) video I've seen in a long time. Kept me hooked throughout and left me with amazement. I've been thinking about moving from Germany to Switzerland for quite a few years now and I think this might have been the final nudge to make me actually try it. If I don't try it, I'm sure I would regret it for the rest of my life.

[@Rawi888]

Mario is my spirit animal. Really love what you do Ashlee, it's always been my dream job.

that vr system in the living room. i knew they was gonna say he won the greatest dad of all time award.

[@StEvUgnIn]

I lived all my life in Switzerland. I must say that venture capital funding is very competitive and most of the times targeted to university researchers who wish to make it on the startup scene like on this documentary.

[@joeboatman934]

What a brilliant and heart-warming documentary! And ending with the amazing guy who lives on the mountain and loves to invest in tech. Roll on part 2. And 3. And 4 🙂

[@davidchukwuocha7052]

I remember seeing that cube a few years back. Pretty cool stuff.

[@mathewdaemon5400]

Another magnificent video!

When your riding a bike your own gravity is the most powerful balancing exercise for your experience Talorical currents of the oceans waves is like a balancing exercise for the earths own spin there's a multiple point area's of earth thst defy gravity a way there gravity is lower than the normal gravity of the world structure and cimitry of all things

[@dogashito2653]

Randomly watching and I see my X-coworker in the video from back when I worked in ETH Zürich. What a small world. Great work!

0:12: 🇨🇭 Switzerland may seem perfect and boring, but it also has a vibrant innovation scene and welcomes smart immigrants. 6:32: 🚁 The video discusses the early days of drone research and the motivation behind pushing the boundaries of autonomous flight. 10:47: 🔥 Researchers are using bioengineering techniques to grow skin in the lab and then transplant it onto burn wounds. 15:45: 🎮 Flight simulator veteran discusses the limitations of traditional simulators and the advancements of virtual reality. 20:12: 🏔 Ashlee flies close to the mountain and meets Fabi's friend Mario, a mysterious mountain man. Recap by Tammy AI

[@biomorphic]

It is funny that we talk about Switzerland, but the minds behind the projects are all Italians. Unfortunately Italy does not offer the same opportunities, so the most of us move abroad.

[@vojtanovotny9111]

We all hope that you enjoyed the trip

[@Younes-hn8vs]

you kinda feel like the Anthony Bourdain of tech

[@ariloves10]

Aha!!

[@tristan7216]

This is an interesting mix up of different innovators, cool. Scenery's not bad either, reminds me of Peter Zeihan's layering of geopolitics and serious hiking.

[@williamseipp9691]

"its almost... boring". Ha! You described Zurich for me.

[@ariloves10]

I would love to be " bored" in Zurich for the rest of my life.

At first glance, I thought it might be an Oscillation Overthruster.

There’s not a single moment that the journalists question who and why would somebody fund scientists to make startup companies.

That skin growing peaked my interest. I hope you can enhance the growing of skin with hair follicles for hair transplant.

[@MrAmitkr007]

95% of things i didn't even know the tech existed

[@richardrose7382]

I’d like to get someone to do some more research on a particular subject. In the early 80’s in Israel, Haifa university, a professor studying crystals was able to make icosahedral crystals on a spinning cold plate. Thing is, according to current theory of crystal formation, each macro crystal is made up of smaller and smaller crystals that fit together. Sort of reverse fractal. Critics of the research suggested that it must be crystals suspended in a glass-like material. You can cut glass to almost any shape…but crystal shapes don’t spontaneously form. Yet these did. They call the regular crystal formation “tiling”…like floor tiles. The only way an icosahedral crystal forms, might be by rotating through higher dimensional space. That could be interesting by itself. But I’d like to know if the crystal could be trapped in three dimensions, then have a piezoelectric shock passed through it….see if another such crystal would resonate some distance away, without detectable signals at regular radio frequencies. The other thing: string theory (and i completely don’t understand) might suggest that the speed of light is only another direction in higher dimensional space….and I’d really like to see a “warp drive” developed that didn’t need very large amounts of energy to function, like the Alcubier drive postulates. So, can you get one of these mad scientist types to look into the matter? I suspect all that would happen is that the crystals would simply deconstruct…but hey, it might be interesting to try, no?

[@Jessicascleaningtips]

What about drones and unstable weather conditions? Has anyone figured it out yet?

[@SokoAerial]

I wish one day this group will visit Ghana so we can show them some cool technology Ghanaian companies are working to the world.
