Call for Proposals

WHO?

Open to any stakeholders in the Swiss robotics ecosystem (teams must be composed of at minimum two partners from two different entities in Switzerland). Innovation teams must consist of at least one research partner and one implementation partner.

Research partners can include university research institutes, non-commercial research centres outside the university sector, departmental research institutions with their own research projects and federal research institutes.

Implementation partners are those actors who implement the innovation ideas, thus creating economic added value. These can be start-ups, SMEs or larger companies that offer products or services or implement processes. However, they can also be non-profit organisations such as municipal administrations that can generate societal benefits and reduce public costs through the implementation of innovation.

WHAT?

For feasibility studies and proof of concept. Idea financing includes all expenditure that is used to examine aspects of a viable innovation, such as customer needs, feasibility and cost-effectiveness.

These include costs for testing hypotheses, creating prototypes, market studies or the methodical support of idea testing by external coaches.
