Innotour: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how businesses in the tourism and service sectors can access financial support for their innovation projects in Switzerland.
Innotour provides financial assistance to help businesses develop and implement new ideas through innovation projects.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically designed for businesses operating within the tourism and service sectors. To qualify, your business must be involved in providing services or working within the tourism industry.
What you get
If your application is successful, you can receive financial support to help fund your innovation projects. This funding is intended to assist with the costs associated with developing new ways of doing business or implementing innovative solutions within your specific sector.
What it costs you
There is no specific monetary fee mentioned for the application itself; however, there is a significant investment of time and effort required. You must be prepared to develop and submit a highly detailed project proposal that outlines your objectives and the expected outcomes of your innovation.
The catch to know
