Bengaluru: Aiming to foster the collaboration with India, the Swiss Network in India is developing an Indo-Swiss Innovation Platform which is likely to be launched soon. Jonas Brunschwig, Consul General of Switzerland shared this information during a discussion with Large and Medium industries minister MB Patil on Monday.

According to Jonas, the platform is expected to improve strategic and systemic collaboration between Switzerland and India.

The Indo-Swiss Innovation Platform is spearheaded by Swissnex in India. This is a continuation of the Switzerland-India Science and Innovation Alliance which was formalized in September 2019 during then-Indian President Ramanath Kovind’s visit to Switzerland.

Swissnex in India, the Swiss Business Hub India, and the Swiss Embassy in India will pilot a new way to bolster the innovation collaboration between Switzerland and India in key areas of relevance, the Consul General added.
