About us

A story, an identity, a home base.

Our story

I came to Switzerland alone to work, with no network and no bearings, and I learned what the absence of ties and support means when you have to find your place.

I did not want other people to go through the same difficulties alone. Pont d’Ébène was born in 2025 from this personal experience and this determination to act.

Our identity

Pont d’Ébène is an association that builds bridges between people, life paths and cultures.

It gives a central place to recognising talents, skills, experiences and cultures, so that everyone can be valued for what they bring.

Hands joining together

Our roots

Pont d’Ébène is rooted in Lausanne. It is from here that the association develops its activities, creates ties and builds its collaborations.

These local roots are the starting point for reaching out to other regions and other partnerships.
