InnoJura Accelerator 2026
Led by Basel Area Business & Innovation, the InnoJura acceleration program is designed for innovative startups operating in the industrial and technology sectors and rooted in the Jura ecosystem. More broadly, it is designed to foster collaboration with Swiss industrial SMEs, particularly those seeking to innovate or integrate new advanced production technologies, smart solutions for industry and automation, or medtech innovations requiring specialized manufacturing expertise. The program offers tools, a network, and key access to the industry to accelerate growth.

A program focused on Industry 4.0, digital technologies, and practical innovation.
The program supports startups through a structured framework that combines personalized coaching, group sessions, and hands-on boot camps, with the goal of preparing them to collaborate with industrial SMEs and enter the market more quickly.
At the heart of the model, therefore, lies a framework for collaboration among various stakeholders: startups develop their technological solutions (often related to industrial digital transformation, production optimization, or product innovation), while SMEs contribute their on-the-ground expertise, infrastructure, and specific needs.
The program also includes financial support of up to CHF 40,000, as well as exclusive access to a network of experts, industry partners, and sector-specific events.
For SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland, even though the call for proposals is aimed more directly at startups, the opportunity is particularly strategic. This program serves as a gateway to open innovation, enabling them to identify emerging technologies, test new concepts in real-world conditions, and collaborate with agile startups.
