  • pilot technology or product development activities (e.g. creation of a prototype integrating Swiss knowledge)
  • reverse engineering projects (e.g. extraction of knowledge from Asia for education purposes)

  • Non-academic innovation agent partners must be senior staff affiliated with a company, start-up, hospital, innovation park, or similar agency from the partner country. Universities from the partner country can participate as third parties.
