Horizon Europe: opportunities for Swiss SMEs
On Thursday, January 21, 2026, Campus Biotech will host an information day dedicated to European funding opportunities for collaborations between companies and academic institutions. Organized by Euresearch (supported by HES-SO, the UNIGE regional office, and HEPIA), this meeting is intended for all Swiss organizations wishing to take advantage of European research and innovation programs such as Horizon Europe and Innosuisse instruments.
Swiss innovation & European collaboration: programs, opportunities & feedback
Against the backdrop of Switzerland's return as an associated country to the Horizon Europe program, which once again opens up access for its SMEs, start-ups, laboratories, and universities to all European calls for projects, the event aims to inform participants about international funding mechanisms and concrete opportunities for collaboration between public and private actors.
This will enable you to explore upcoming calls for proposals in greater depth, particularly those related to the two clusters: digital, industry, space & climate, energy, mobility, as well as Innosuisse's innovation and international financing instruments.
The OPI (Office for the Promotion of Industries and Technologies), the Advanced Technology Laboratory (LTA), and the Enterprise Europe Network will also share their knowledge and practical advice, as well as testimonials from successful applicants.
For SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland, this event is a prime gateway to European funding, both to support large-scale innovation programs and to structure cross-border collaborations.
