Innosuisse funds 33 projects as part of the Swiss Accelerator

Innosuisse has carried out this call for projects due to Switzerland's non-association to Horizon Europe. Swiss SMEs and start-ups were able to apply for direct financial support for innovation projects with significant innovation potential. Innosuisse received 373 short applications. Following the initial assessment, 91 companies went on to submit a full application. Of these, 45 made it to the final round to pitch their application orally.

The aim of the projects is to develop and scale novel products and services with significant innovation potential. This should accelerate the growth of highly innovative Swiss companies. Innosuisse will not launch any further calls for projects for the Swiss Accelerator in 2024.

Other support offers

The Innosuisse Guide helps companies to find the right support offer. The well-established innovation projects between universities and companies continue to be the focus of Innosuisse’s funding. In 2023, Innosuisse also launched a support offer for start-ups prior to their market entry: with the «start-up innovation projects», the agency promotes the market entry of start-ups with direct financial support. Applications for both instruments can be submitted on an ongoing basis.
