Innosuisse Start-up Coaching

Innosuisse Start-Up Coaching is now also available to Liechtenstein young entrepreneurs

Innosuisse, the Swiss agency for innovation promotion, has been offering "Innosuisse Start-up Coaching" for Swiss young entrepreneurs and people interested in starting a business for several years. The Start-up Coaching is divided into the three programs "Initial Coaching", "Core Coaching" and "Scale-up Coaching". The participants benefit from individual coaching by experienced entrepreneurs or specialists. They accompany and advise the start-ups, offer support for the foundation, further development and sustainable growth of the company and help in the search for investors and business partners. For coaching across all three programs, young companies can receive vouchers totaling a maximum of CHF 130,000.

On the basis of the agreement between the government and the Swiss Federal Council on the promotion of science-based innovation of January 26, 2021, and the commitment credit approved by Parliament for this purpose, the successful program is now also open to Liechtenstein young entrepreneurs and those interested in founding a company. The applications are recorded and administered directly via the Innosuisse platform. The evaluation of the submitted applications and business ideas is carried out by experts from Innosuisse. All accredited coaches and specialists are also available to Liechtenstein applicants. Liechtenstein-specific questions are answered by the Central Business Service of the Office of Economic Affairs. The coaching costs are borne by the country of Liechtenstein.
