Advanced Manufacturing grants in Switzerland

Closed

Awards €20,000 cash prizes to startups already piloted with big manufacturing corporates.

Closed

Funds around five projects, each worth EUR 8 to 12 million, to turn end-of-life industrial waste into new raw materials at commercial scale.

Funds an innovation project that builds a modular, standardised hydrogen storage system OEMs can integrate without custom engineering.

Closed

Funds industrial demonstrations that replace fossil-heat-driven process steps with electrically driven technologies to cut energy use and emissions.

Closed

Funds redesigned industrial processes that can flex output quickly to match variable renewable-energy supply without losing efficiency.

Closed

Funds development of tests and methods that verify how durable, repairable and recyclable a product actually is, for one of seven priority product groups.

Closed

Funds pilot production lines and recycling demonstrations that scale up integrated PV (building, vehicle and agri-PV) technologies to market.

Closed

Pays organisations up to EUR 25,000 to design and run a short innovation study-tour programme.

Closed

Funds around five projects, each worth up to EUR 6 million, to develop fast-curing, recyclable coatings and sealants for manufacturing lines.

Closed

Funds demonstrations of new wind-turbine manufacturing methods that raise safety, cut costs and boost European production capacity.

Closed

Funds industrial consortia that develop remanufacturing technology and processes to double the volume of remanufactured components made in the EU.

Closed

Funds research into combining multiple renewable energy carriers — electricity, hydrogen, solar heat — at industrial sites to cope with supply fluctuations.

Closed

Funds companies and researchers that build and demonstrate at scale new circular business models — reuse, repair, sharing, product-as-a-service.

Closed

Funds open-topic solutions — from AI tools to new business models — that help SMEs cut resource use and comply with green-transition rules.

Closed

Funds industry-academia consortia that refine and scale up the manufacturing process for one class of cell or gene therapy, from quality control through to deployment.

Closed

Funds around nine projects, each worth EUR 5 to 8 million, to recover secondary raw materials from industrial waste and end-of-use products.

Closed

Funds a physical demonstration that phases out fossil fuel from a heating-heavy industrial process using local renewable energy integration.

Closed

Funds research into wearable and cognitive augmentation technology that supports factory workers and makes manufacturing jobs safer and more human-centric.

Funds retrofitting an existing industrial or biorefinery plant to produce higher-value bio-based chemicals or materials than its old process line.

Closed

Funds two projects, worth up to EUR 45 million each, to build generative AI foundation models for robotics or manufacturing, with at least EUR 10 million of each project re-granted to third-party companies.

Closed

Funds research into industrial processing technologies that cut the use of hazardous substances and reduce health, safety and environmental risks beyond CO2.

Closed

Funds around four projects, each worth up to EUR 7 million, to develop non-PFAS chemicals for electronics, construction, textiles and automotive parts.

Closed

Funds industrial substitutes for substances of concern, covering design, production, manufacturing integration and market uptake.

Closed

Funds deployment of robotics, automation and digital tools in small and medium European shipyards, demonstrated in at least three shipyards.
