Platform
Who can participate?
Don’t hesitate to publish your ideas, challenges, or patents for sale or licensing on our platform. We run two cycles per year, in spring and autumn.
Once published, each proposal has 6 weeks to attract partners and form a team to carry out a feasibility study.
You can also express your interest in joining other proposals — including through crowdfunding contributions.
How to submit your idea:
1. Join the ecosystem
Become a member of the ecosystem and participate in the creation of a competitive Swiss microtechnology industry!
- Become active on the platform
- Follow the training courses offered and access the tools
Free access to the platform
Member of the association to participate in strategic decisions: between 2’000 and 5’000 CHF/year or more 😊
2. Post or follow ideas, challenges, patents
Join the platform and promote your innovation ideas, your challenges, your patents so share or to sell.
Attract partners and experts, become a partner in a proposed idea yourself, or buy a patent !
- Accelerate your innovation culture
3. Participate in funding
Join the collaborative funding effort or acquire a patent and/or license directly through the platform.
Become part of the project team and use the funds raised to validate the idea up to the proof of feasibility stage (6–8 months).
Then, decide whether and how you wish to continue with the project.
- Each team member contributes to the funding, helping to reach the required budget together.
- Crowdfunding serves as proof of market interest in the idea.
COST: min 500CHF or 10% per idea and for patents: to be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
