Our approach / Business model
We are flexible and non-bureaucratic. SWISS FOOD RESEARCH is in continuous contact with companies, in order to support the realization of innovative R&D projects (products, processes, services) which derive from market requirements.
We support companies in the formulation of project proposals and impart the highest competencies of research institutes within our network for the most successful execution of the project. We also assist companies in the realization of financial support from national as well as European funding sources. As soon as the project consortium is established, the economic partner takes over the lead of the project. However, we continue to coach the project in order to ensure a successful realization of the innovation. Reliability, professionalism and efficiency are the basis of our cooperation with our partners.
Swiss Food Research finances its network activities and the conduct of research partners (competences) with annual membership fees and in particular by the CTI bonus. This bonus depends on the number of projects initiated, generated by the network and finally accepted and funded by the CTI. The capital obtained by the network in competition covers the operating costs and support the projects with a high innovation potential within the framework of the Swiss Food Research Call.
