Networks and tech transfer

The Economic Promotion can help you get in touch with service providers, local authorities, experts, skilled workers, and regional networks.

Networking

In a small country like Switzerland, a strong network is a powerful thing. Here in Schaffhausen, we support local, regional, and national networks for knowledge and tech transfer, professional connections, and business development. Not only is the Economic Promotion part of Schaffhausen's business networks, but we organize numerous networking events ourselves.

StartHub hosts events and provides support for startup businesses and entrepreneurs.

The IVS is the chamber of commerce for the Canton of Schaffhausen, representing the region's business interests in politics.

The Gewerbeverband represents small- and medium-sized commercial enterprises in the Canton of Schaffhausen.

Innovation & technology transfer

Technological leadership and innovative strength are important success factors. For this reason, the Economic Development Agency acts as a coordination office to support local companies in the areas of technology and innovation promotion. The Economic Promotion Canton of Schaffhausen works closely with specialized technology platforms such as the ITS Industrie- und Technozentrum Schaffhausen and the INOS innovation network. The aim is to strengthen regional SMEs and raise the profile of Schaffhausen as a technology location.
