WEBINAR

How BRIDGE can support your science-based innovation project

7 April, 2022 | 12:00-13:00

On April 7 2022, we had the great opportunity to learn about BRIDGE funding for innovation. We were delighted to hear from Jennifer Cadby of Unitec, Thomas Di Franco and Christian Brunner from BRIDGE, Prof. Karl-Heinz Krause and Ozge Yuzgec from UNIGE about the role they play in BRIDGE and about tips to be successful applicants. We thank all the speakers and participants for an interesting conversation.

We summarized for you the key take-home messages:

BRIDGE is a program by Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and Innosuisse (Swiss Innovation Agency).

BRIDGE Proof-of-Concept is an ideal support if you have completed your Bachelor or Master degree or if you are a PhD candidate or a postdoc, have an innovative business idea, and are looking for a way to finance your salary and consumables for 1 year in order to study the desirability and the feasibility of your product before launching your startup.
