2026 Micronarc Co-Contracting Award
The Micronarc platform is launching the 2026 edition of the Micronarc Award, a competition designed to highlight co-contracting companies that contribute—often behind the scenes—to their clients’ industrial successes. This award recognizes exemplary collaborations within the micro- and nanotechnology ecosystem and is open to co-contracting companies in Western Switzerland that develop technological innovations, business innovations, or high-value-added services for the benefit of a client company.
Details & Application – Deadline❗️August 31, 2026❗️
Call for Applications to Promote Collaborative Innovation in Micro- and Nanotechnologies
The Micronarc Award recognizes, above all, the quality of industrial collaborations. Unlike a traditional subcontracting relationship, co-contracting involves the genuine co-creation of a product, technology, or service, in which each partner contributes specific expertise that directly contributes to the project’s success. Applications must therefore demonstrate the concrete impact of the proposed solution through a submission that includes a testimonial from an independent client company—an SME that has been in business for more than five years.
The winner will receive a prize of CHF 5,000, a turnkey exhibition space at a Micronarc group booth at a trade show of their choice, and significant visibility within the microtechnology ecosystem in French-speaking Switzerland.
For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in French-speaking Switzerland, this award offers an opportunity to gain recognition for expertise that is often overlooked but nonetheless essential to industrial value chains. It helps highlight successful technological collaborations, strengthen credibility with new partners, and gain greater visibility within one of the most dynamic industrial ecosystems in Western Switzerland.
