We make collaborative R&D projects happen

ManuFuture-CH is dedicated to facilitate innovation in promising fields of manufacturing by supporting academic researchers and enterprises in setting up joint R&D projects. 

These activities of ManuFuture-CH are approved by the Swiss Federal Innovation Promotion Agency CTI. They are financially supported by CTI in the form of a so called "R&D consortium" to maintain and strengthen this network between leading research institutes and partners from industry.

The services offered by ManuFuture-CH do not stop at the networking level, but include the following "hands-on" support:

• Finding competent R&D partners in industry or academia
• Acting as a "sparring partner" to challenge new project ideas
• Identifying suitable sources of funding
• Guidance in structuring and planning of research work
• Expert support in writing research grant proposals
• Pre-check of grant proposals before final submission
• Support in disseminating and publishing project results
