Innovation and export checks are reissued – Liechtenstein
VADUZ – Due to the positive experiences of the past few years, the government has again decided to continue the support program for Liechtenstein SMEs through innovation and export checks this year.
With the innovation and export cheques, the government wanted to create low-threshold offers for SMEs, according to its broadcast, in order to examine a project for concrete feasibility together with research institutions with a view to opening up new markets and technologies, to have series of measurements carried out, to develop prototypes or to receive advice in the field of export promotion.
These funding instruments have proven themselves over the years and should therefore be continued. The maximum amount for an innovation check is 15,000 francs and the maximum amount for an export check is 10,000 francs. The two checks can be applied for at the Office for Economic Affairs.
In addition, the cooperation between the Office of Economic Affairs and Switzerland Global Enterprise has been extended by a further two years until the end of 2023. Within the framework of this cooperation, the services of the Swiss organization for export promotion and location promotion are also available to Liechtenstein companies.
