Platform
Who can participate?
If yes, then you can submit your ideas on our platform. You can also show your interest in participating in the ideas of others (no comma here) through participatory financing.
Every 6 months, our committee selects the ideas that will receive a minimum of CHF 20’000.00 of participatory funding. They will then get the green light for a collaborative feasibility study that will last 6 months.
How to submit your idea:
1. Join the ecosystem
Become a member of the ecosystem and participate in the creation of a competitive Swiss microtechnology industry!
- Become active on the platform
- Follow the training courses offered and access the tools
2. Post or follow ideas
Join the platform and promote your microtechnology innovation ideas to attract partners and experts, or become a partner in a proposed idea yourself!
- Accelerate your innovation culture
3. Participate in funding
Funding is used to validate the idea until proof of concept (6 months).
- the ecosystem participates in the financing
- Participatory funding is proof of market interest in the idea
