The 2021 digital version of AIT India is here to transform high-level applied research into market applications.

Selected participants learn to network, understand cultural/business contexts, international markets, foster new partnerships and understand the market potential for their product. Entry is awarded on a competitive basis to select projects with entrepreneurial potential.

AIT consists of two phases: an online training camp focusing on India, and a second training camp in Switzerland. 10 Swiss startups will be chosen, and the Innovation Grant of CHF 10,000 each will be awarded to the two most promising Swiss research breakthrough projects on the last day of the Swiss Camp.

VentureLab and Swissnex in India are facilitating a full day preparation kick-off event, an online week focusing on India followed by a week in Switzerland including workshops, industry visits and business meetings.
