Start your innovation project without implementation partner

Innosuisse funds innovation projects of researchers who have come across an innovative idea with great market potential in the course of their research work, but have not yet found a partner for the implementation on the market. Innosuisse particularly supports high-risk projects with strong innovation potential.

You can submit your application without an implementation partner initially. Innosuisse will fund projects such as feasibility studies, prototypes and testing facilities.

This support offer is aimed at:

research partners: scientific researchers
