Background
Innosuisse is the Swiss agency for innovation promotion. Innosuisse supports SMEs, startups, research institutions and other Swiss organizations in their research and development activities. Innosuisse is a springboard for innovation at national or international level. It facilitates collaboration and knowledge transfer to develop promising new products or services.
Innosuisse offers funding through different programmes. Within the funding for national programmes, we find the Startup Innovation Projects (SIP). Through this programme, Innosuisse supports innovation projects carried out by startups prior to entering the market. These innovation projects must be based on application-oriented research and prepare start-ups for entering the market for the first time. The goal is to significantly accelerate the market launch of new products and services. The applicant startup receives direct funding from Innosuisse.
