The Flagship Initiative aims to foster systemic innovation which helps to overcome major challenges for the economy and society. For its second call, Innosuisse has chosen one topic which promotes intelligent energy solutions, new materials and processes and helps reduce the impact of climate change and environmental pollution for the benefit of the economy and society.
The flagship topic of the call 2023 therefore is: Disruptive solutions for the transition towards a net zero world.
The proposals within this topic must concentrate on at least one of the following focus areas:
- New materials and processes
- Energy storage, generation and real-time management
- Eco-design, circular economy and sustainable manufacturing
- Energy efficiency and reduction of emissions
The flagship topic requires an interdisciplinary approach for developing new solutions for complex challenges. The solutions must have a decisive impact and become accepted by society and the economy. Legal and spatial framework conditions must not be neglected either. Climate change is a huge challenge for humanity, but also a big opportunity for Switzerland to demonstrate its innovative strength.
Innosuisse has a total of CHF 20 million at its disposal for this Flagship call.
