Overview

Swiss Innovation Challenge ASIA is a programme with an integrated competition for the support and advancement of innovation. It comprises specific training, personal coaching and access to the Swiss Innovation Challenge Network in Asia and Switzerland.

The programme is designed for companies, start-ups and individuals wishing to introduce and implement an innovation or to push forward a given innovation project. This could be a new business idea, product innovation, service innovation, organisational innovation, management innovation or business model innovation.

The programme was first launched in Switzerland by FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, Baselland Chamber of Commerce and Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank (BLKB) in 2015. Based on a successful track-record, the programme is brought to Asia by FHNW and selected local partner universities.

With innovation partnerships playing an increasingly important role, the programme offers project teams across Asia the opportunity to bring their innovation to a new level, connect to the Swiss eco-system and build an international network.
