Innovation made in Ticino: presentation of new measures to support innovation in SMEs

The Economy Division is organising a presentation of the new measures provided for in the Economic Innovation Act (LInn), which will further strengthen the innovation capacity of the Canton of Ticino, already among the leaders at national and international level.

A new measure aimed at boosting technology transfer between Swiss research centres and innovative companies will be presented to the press and all interested parties, along with the expansion of support for companies looking to internationalise.

This will also be an opportunity to take a broader look at the expertise available in research institutes and the opportunities they can offer to businesses.
