Implementing projects together

Realize your research project with the Institute Polymer Nanotechnology FHNW. We advise you from the funding instrument to the market launch.

Do you have a product idea, do you want to give your next product generation a decisive competitive advantage or are you looking for a specific competence? We support you from the choice of the right funding instrument to the feasibility study and market launch.

Selected funding instruments

Innosuisse

Innosuisse is the Swiss Agency for the Promotion of Innovation.
Nano-Argovia

The Nano-Argovia programme to promote innovation and the development of nanotechnology skills in companies in northern Switzerland is financed by the canton of Aargau. It bridges the gap between basic scientific research at the SNI and industrial applications.
Forschungsfonds Aargau

The Aargau Research Fund serves to promote innovation in the Aargau economy, to support the transfer of knowledge and technology between universities and businesses in Aargau, and to create incentives for innovative and value-adding companies to choose the Canton of Aargau as their location.
Hightech Zentrum Aargau

The Hightech Zentrum Aargau offers innovation consulting from the first analysis to practical implementation.

What our project partners say

Your extended know how in injection molding is a true and valuable asset for the development of injection molded freeform lens and microlens arrays for high-quality lighting systems in the framework of our common project “FreeMLA” funded by Innosuisse.
