For Companies
Swiss Accelerator
Switzerland is currently a non-associated third country to Horizon Europe. Swiss SMEs and start-ups are therefore not eligible to apply for funding from the “EIC Accelerator”.
The “Swiss Accelerator” is a transitional measure aimed at individual start-ups and SMEs that are carrying out an innovation project with considerable innovation potential and the goal of quickly and efficiently marketing innovative new products and services.
Information on the “Swiss Accelerator” is available on the Innosuisse website.
For applicants who are in the process of preparing a full proposal, Euresearch offers free support through information, advice and proposal review.
