In 2013, the Swiss-Swedish Innovation Initiative (SWII) was launched, in which companies with their R&D departments, innovative SMEs and start-ups, and universities work together to create new industry partnerships co-funded by EUREKA/Eurostars. This networking initiative will now be further developed in the longer term. On 14 June, Innosuisse and the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova therefore signed an agreement for long-term and close cooperation.
Further information on the strengthened cooperation between the two countries can be found here.
