Swiss Accelerator: Call for Proposals 2023​

After the launch of the Swiss Accelerator in 2022, Innosuisse issues the second call for projects in 2023!

Swiss SMEs and start-ups that are established on the market and demonstrate above-average innovation potential can apply for direct financial support for innovation projects within the Swiss Accelerator programme.

  1. Short application to be submitted through the Innosuisse online application platform - from 28 August 2023 until 09 October 2023
  2. Invitation to submit a full application based on Innosuisse’s evaluation of the short application
  3. Based on the evaluation of the full application, invitation to present the application to Innosuisse.
