Innosuisse offers an exciting opportunity for collaborations with Swiss SMEs, start-ups, and other small and medium-sized organizations from both the private and public sectors (with fewer than 250 full-time employees). Companies can easily request a 15,000 CHF voucher through the Innosuisse online application portal (https://www.innosuisse.ch/inno/en/home/promotion-of-national-projects/innovation-cheque/submit-application.html#-937962196).

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the process is straightforward, requiring only a proposal of about one page. You will need to provide details about your innovation, the feasibility of the results, the role of the research partner, expected deliverables, the competitive landscape, and the potential benefits for the implementation partner. The voucher can be used to cover personnel expenses and material costs.
