    Innosuisse Call for Projects: Financial Support for SME Innovations<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In light of current economic challenges \u2013 including declining demand, geopolitical uncertainty, a strong Swiss franc, and global trade tensions \u2013 Innosuisse is expanding its support for small and medium-sized enterprises. A dedicated call for projects aims to significantly reduce participation costs for innovation initiatives.<\/p>\n

    Eligible for funding are projects submitted in collaboration with a Swiss research partner<\/strong> between 10 August and 10 September 2025<\/strong>. Companies with fewer than 500 full-time equivalents<\/strong> are eligible to apply.<\/p>\n

    Financial Support for SMEs<\/strong>
    The financial model is particularly noteworthy: the required cash contribution from implementation partners can be reduced or waived entirely<\/strong>, according to the Innosuisse factsheet. The aim is to enable science-based innovation without financial barriers.<\/p>\n

    Focus Areas: Digitalisation and Efficiency<\/strong>
    Priority is given to projects in the fields of automation, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence<\/strong> \u2013 key areas for competitiveness. Incremental innovations<\/strong> are also explicitly welcomed, as they can lead to substantial performance improvements.<\/p>\n

    Mandatory Collaboration with Research<\/strong>
    Projects must be submitted in cooperation with a Swiss research institution<\/strong>, to effectively translate technological know-how into new products, processes, or business models.<\/p>\n

    Funding decisions will be made by the end of October 2025<\/strong>. Approved projects can officially start from December 2025<\/strong>.
