Innovation support actions for Swiss SMEs in the frame of the European Innovation Council programme 2019 by the Swiss EEN consortium

Objective

This proposal describes the planned delivery of the European Innovation Council key account management (KAM) activities and enhancement of innovation management capacity services (EIMC) in Switzerland in 2019. KAM and EIMC activities will be based on the existing support activities delivered in 2017 and 2018, and on the experience that the Swiss EEN advisors have built during these two years. The activities, and particularly the EIMC, will be more integrated into existing policy initiatives and delivered with a better programmatic approach. With respect to 2017, the KAM activities will be extended to Swiss SMEs winners or part of consortia winners of Fast Track to Innovation and to FET-Open projects, now integrated within the European Innovation Council. A pilot KAM has already started with a Lausanne-based company involved in a FET-Open successful project and is ongoing.
