Collaborative projects aim to solve a technological challenge or create a new value chain with the help of a public research organization. The innovative and pre-competitive technological challenge is identified by multiple companies within an economic sector. A new value chain is established with several companies to develop a product or service.
These collaborative projects receive funding from the canton of Fribourg under the NPR 2020-2023 program. This program plans to finance 15 to 18 sector-specific collaborative projects, with NPR grants of up to CHF 150,000 per project.
