Innosuisse Innovation Project Funding: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Discover how startups can secure co-funding for research and development projects through collaboration with Swiss research institutions.
This scheme provides financial support for startups to carry out research and development projects in partnership with research institutions.
Who it's for
This funding is designed for startups that are working together with a Swiss research institution to complete an innovation project.
What you get
You can receive co-funding that covers up to 50% of the total costs associated with your research and development project.
What it costs you
While the funding helps cover expenses, you will need to invest significant time and effort into preparing a detailed project proposal and a formal partnership agreement. There is also a significant administrative lead time involved in the application and approval process.
The catch to know
You cannot choose any research partner you like; your partner must be a recognized Swiss public research institution to qualify for this specific support.
How to apply
- Identify a suitable Swiss public research institution to act as your partner.
- Develop a detailed project proposal and a formal agreement with your partner.
- Submit your application through the official portal.
