INNDUSTRY – The Gathering for Industrial Leaders: Accessing Vaud’s Economic Assistance Programs
On April 21, 2026, leaders of industrial SMEs in the Vaud region are invited to gather at the Y-PARC science and technology park in Yverdon-les-Bains to explore the resources and support available (funding, guidance, technology & AI, collaborative projects, networking, etc.) to help them grow their businesses and, above all, to learn how to access them.
Help industrial SMEs understand existing programs and speed up their access to support.
Designed to be both informative and practical, the event offers a concise overview of the support available to industrial SMEs, including financial assistance, coaching, digital transformation, and collaborative projects.
The focus will be on key topics such as AI, cybersecurity, and data monetization, featuring presentations by experts and industry professionals. The goal is to enable executives to quickly identify the right strategies for their growth challenges, while facilitating direct dialogue with the appropriate contacts.
Beyond providing information, the event also marks the launch of a community of industrial SME leaders, designed as a space for peer-to-peer exchange and the creation of synergies. This initiative is part of the INNdustry program, led by Innovaud, which aims to support industrial companies in their transformation, facilitate their access to existing funding, and stimulate collaborative innovation.
For SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland, this event represents a strategic opportunity to save time, clarify their options, and become fully integrated into the regional innovation ecosystem.
