Together with SCNAT and the Swiss National Science Foundation, Innosuisse will also participate in the Swiss Quantum Initiative starting in 2025. Innosuisse generally supports SMEs, start-ups, research institutions, and other Swiss organizations in their research and development activities and will now do so specifically in the field of quantum technologies. This is part of Innosuisse’s strategic goals, which were recently approved by the Federal Council.
