The AIT aims to transform high-level applied research into market applications. Entry is awarded on a competitive basis to select projects with entrepreneurial potential and to help participants advance business plans, establish further contacts with industry, and clarify intellectual property issues. The AIT will provide the opportunity to network at an international level, foster new partnerships and collaborations, and have access to emerging markets.
The program is meant for Master, PhD, Postdocs and researchers from Swiss universities, Universities of Applied Sciences, and research institutes or centers of technological excellence with research track-record working on a non-profit basis.
