    🟠 This programme aims to support Swiss start-ups with innovative science-based projects oriented towards rapid implementation to the market.

    🟠 Just as with Swiss Accelerator, Innosuisse is ready to cover up to 70% of eligible costs.

    🟠 Regarding how much funding your application may get, there’s no limit established by Innosuisse for each successful project.

    🟠 The duration of your project must be up to 36 months.
