Accelerating the digital success of Vaud's SMEs
SyNNergy encourages collaboration: each project must be led by a consortium of at least two companies, the majority of which are based in the canton of Vaud (although external partners may participate). The project must propose an innovative, digitally-focused solution that addresses a real market need, with results that benefit all partners and the potential for scalability beyond the initial partners. A key criterion is quantifiable economic and societal impact (job creation, skills development, efficiency gains, etc.).
From a financial standpoint, SyNNergy co-funds up to 50% of the project budget, up to a maximum of CHF 100,000. A portion (10% to 15%) of the budget is allocated to coaching to help partners structure, execute, and manage the project. The remainder may cover eligible costs such as hardware, software licenses, external consulting, or internal development hours.
The SyNNergy program is a structured springboard for SMEs in the French-speaking part of Switzerland who want to accelerate their digital transition through high-impact collaborative projects, while benefiting from financial and strategic support in the dynamic context of innovation in the canton of Vaud.
