Innovation cheque

As an SME or other type of organisation with fewer than 250 full-time employees, you can apply for an innovation cheque (preliminary study) worth up to 15,000 Swiss francs to assess the viability of your innovation concept. This voucher enables you to commission idea studies and analyses of the innovation and market potential with a Swiss research partner in all subject areas and to test the collaboration with the research partner.

This offer is addressed to:

  • SMEs, start-ups and other small and medium-sized organisations from the private or public sector (with less than 250 full-time equivalents).
