- EN - DE
Bern, 15. The Swiss agency for the promotion of innovation, Innosuisse, will start operations on 1 January 2018. In this context, the Federal Council approved a series of regulations on 15 November 2017 and adopted the necessary amendments to the Research and Innovation Promotion Ordinance (RIPO). With the Subsidies Regulation, Innosuisse has been provided with a solid foundation for its innovation promotion activities. The Remuneration Regulation and the Personnel Regulation were drafted to ensure a clear allocation of responsibilities within Innosuisse. These regulations shall come into force on 1 January 2018. As the Confederation's new funding agency for science-based innovation, Innosuisse will take over the remit currently given to the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI).
