The Swiss Accelerator is strongly oriented towards the project funding of the EIC Accelerator, known as "EIC Grant Funding". This will ease the transfer of proposals of applicant companies from the EIC Accelerator to the Swiss Accelerator. The funding from Innosuisse is a maximum of 70 percent of project costs. The company bears 30 percent of the costs itself. Per application, Innosuisse funding amounts to a maximum of 2.5 million Swiss francs, typically spread over two years.
