By submitting this form, you are applying for the mentoring services (or parts thereof) listed above. The consultation covers a maximum of 50 hours and can be obtained within a maximum period of 12 months. Each voucher can be obtained once per innovation project, provided you have not already received a comparable support for it.

Self-declaration

In clarifying whether your SME* meets the legal requirements for obtaining innovation mentoring services, we rely on your self-declaration below.

*SME means: small or medium-sized enterprise, or a private or public organisation, company or institution in Switzerland with fewer than 250 full-time equivalents.

3. Can you confirm that your SME has fewer than 250 full-time equivalents across all its employees? In the case of companies controlled by another company, the number of full-time equivalents for the entire group of companies is decisive and must be fewer than 250 full-time equivalents.
