Executive Committee and Secretariat

The management team is Innosuisse’s operational body. It directs the Secretariat, manages the activities and monitors the budget of the innovation funding agency. Annalise Eggimann is the director of the team.

The Secretariat is Innosuisse’s control centre. Around 100 people work in our offices in Bern; they implement the funding activities in accordance with the requirements of the Board and the decisions of the Innovation Council. The executive committee holds all threads together; it directs the operational funding activities.
