Innovation Projects
THE SWISS SMART FACTORY IS A PLACE FOR MANUFACTURING INNOVATION. WE ARE ACTIVELY CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS DEVELOPING THE NEXT-GENERATION OF AUTOMATION AND DIGITALIZATION SOLUTION FOR SUSTAINABLE, HUMAN-CENTERED AND RESILIENT MANUFACTURING.


How we develop
We carry out research and innovation projects and coordinate the application for project funding, if necessary.
We support both start-ups and established companies to develop, enhance, validate, and commercialize innovative products and services.
With our team of researchers and engineers, we cover a broad area of expertise including areas as as:
Industrial IoT
Industrial AI
AR/VR for manufacturing
Robotics/cobotics
Integrated production-IT
Flexible automation technologies
Sustainable manufacturing strategies
National Innovation Projects
We are an active part of the Swiss innovation ecosystem and we are accredited for Innosuisse funding.
