More flexibility in promoting Swiss innovation
To further strengthen the interaction between science and innovation, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and Innosuisse, the Swiss Agency for Promotion of Innovation, have signed an agreement for closer cooperation.
A common vision of the innovation chain
With this agreement, the SNSF and Innosuisse reaffirm their common vision of the innovation chain, a chain that requires coordinated and effective promotion at every step, from basic research to innovative products and services.
Because research and innovation feed off each other: the acquisition of scientific knowledge and significant advances can be translated into innovations; conversely, the challenges of the economy and society are a source of inspiration and motivation for science.
