Entries invited for 2018 Innovation Prize

Nominations are sought for entry to this year's Innovation Prize, worth CHF 20,000

Any company can apply as long as it has its headquarters here or a subsidiary located in the canton. The closing date this year is Friday 17 August.

When submitting an entry, companies are requested to summarise their project, product or service on one sheet of A4 size paper only. If a particular product has meant that jobs have been able to be saved or new ones created, then this information also needs to be provided, along with the amount of the capital invested, too.

The award will be presented on Wednesday 14 November at a ceremony coinciding with the Zug Innovation and Technology Day to be held at the Theater Casino, an event organised every year by the Zug Technology Forum.

A specialist jury will look at each entry and recommend the winner for the prize awarded by the cantonal government. Firms competing will also have the opportunity of showing off their project on this occasion.

Further details and application forms can be obtained from www.zg.ch/innovationspreis.
