Schedule a ConsultationOur Genesis: Research to Revolution
Virtual Optima is a proud spin-off of the University of Fribourg, built upon a foundation of more than 20 Years of practical research in Operations Research.
The Birth of LPL
The cornerstone of our applied research is LPL (Linear Programming Language). This high-level Programming Language empowers organizations to describe, build, modify, and document complex scheduling and optimization problems in less time than conventional methods.
LPL stands as one of only a few comparable products of its kind worldwide, a testament to its innovative design and powerful capabilities.
Pioneering research at the University of Fribourg laid our groundwork.
