The Innovation Booster Robotics was active from 2021 to 2025 as a Swiss initiative supported by Innosuisse. This website is its legacy page. Throughout its duration, the Booster created and strengthened a national community fostering an open innovation culture in robotics. It brought together key players across academia, industry, startups, and public stakeholders to explore new ideas, catalyze collaborations, and accelerate technology transfer and innovation.
Although the Innovation Booster Robotics program has concluded, our mission continues through the Swiss Robotics Association (SRA), a standalone initiative dedicated to serving as a national networking hub for robotics stakeholders across Switzerland and fostering long-term collaboration, visibility, and impact.
