💡 Innovation aus der Tube

Wie können KMU neue Technologien entwickeln, ohne das finanzielle Risiko allein zu tragen?

NEOPAC Group zeigt, wie es geht: Gemeinsam mit dem Institut für Automation der Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz FHNW entwickelte das Unternehmen eine Technologie, welche die Produktion von Laminattuben automatisiert, stabilisiert und effizienter macht. Innosuisse unterstützte die Zusammenarbeit im Rahmen eines Innovationsprojekts.

Für das KMU bedeutete die Förderung mehr Planungssicherheit, einen schnelleren Projektstart und ein geringeres Entwicklungsrisiko.

Die Ergebnisse im Testbetrieb:

🔹 3 Prozent weniger Ausschuss

🔹 halbierte Umrüstzeit

🔹 deutlich geringerer Materialverbrauch

Bei einer Einführung auf allen Produktionslinien sieht Hoffmann Neopac ein grosses Einsparpotenzial beim Materialverbrauch sowie bei der Reduktion von CO₂-Emissionen.

Ein Beispiel dafür, wie KMU ihre Praxiserfahrung mit Forschungskompetenz verbinden und aus einer guten Idee eine wirkungsvolle Innovation machen können.

💧After a summer marked by heatwaves and drought, using water efficiently remains a key challenge, especially in agriculture.

With support from Innosuisse, TerraRad Tech worked with ETH Zurich, WSL and Agroscope to address this challenge by developing and testing a miniaturised microwave sensor. Mounted on a drone, it collects moisture data across fields.

In our interview, Derek Houtz, CEO of TerraRad Tech, explains how the technology works, its potential contribution to more sustainable water use and the challenges that remain.

Was braucht es, um auch in herausfordernden Zeiten wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben? 🔥

Am 22. September 2026 bringt das Industrieforum Führungs- und Fachkräfte aus der Schweizer Industrie zusammen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie die Digitalisierung Unternehmen dabei helfen kann, widerstandsfähiger, effizienter und zukunftsfähiger zu werden.

Neben weiteren Unternehmen gibt auch Asyril AG Einblick in ihre Innovation Journey und zeigt, wie sie dabei von Innosuisse unterstützt wurde.

☀️ Solar power, right between the rails

In Buttes, in the canton of Neuchâtel, Sun-Ways is testing removable solar panels installed directly between the rails of an active railway line.

One year into the pilot, more than 11'000 trains have passed over the installation, while the system has generated more than 16'000 kWh of solar electricity.🚂

The project shows how existing infrastructure could open up new possibilities for renewable energy production, while remaining compatible with railway operations and maintenance.

Supported by Innosuisse, with the contribution of partners including HEIG-VS, BKW, Canton de Neuchâtel, Canton de Vaud, GESTE Engineering, MECCAD, Romande Energie, RM Voie ferrée, Scheuchzer SA, SIG, SNCF, Transports Publics Neuchâtelois SA (transN) and Viteos.

When vegetation becomes part of the building 🌿

That was the idea behind GreenBrick, an innovation project that brought together researchers and construction companies to explore a new approach to greener buildings.

With the support of Innosuisse, Skygardens, Zürcher Ziegeleien, Wagner System AG, Waldhauser+Hermann and Dr. Lüchinger+Meyer Bauingenieure AG collaborated with HSLU Hochschule Luzern and ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften to develop and test an innovative system that integrates vegetation directly into building components while meeting the technical and practical requirements of the construction industry.
