Author: Innovation Park Ticino
In today’s session, the State Council approved the message presenting the measures to support innovation and the regional economic policy for the period 2024-2027. This message was an opportunity to further consolidate – thanks to the joint involvement of the Department of Finance and Economy and the Department of Education, Culture and Sports – the convergence between measures to support innovation and research and development activities.
Main novelty is the proposal to anchor in the Law for Economic Innovation the future organizational structure of the Switzerland Innovation Park Ticino, which with its competence centers well represents the increasingly close synergy between universities and businesses. The message proposes for the period 2024-2027 – in addition to amendments to the Law for Innovation (LInn) aimed at the creation of the Switzerland Innovation Park Ticino – the allocation of a framework credit of 25 million francs for the adoption of measures to support innovation and synergies with the world of research, the allocation of a framework credit of 23.4 million francs for the adoption of cantonal regional economic policy measures, and the allocation of a framework credit of 11.6 million francs for the adoption of cantonal measures complementary to the 2024-2027 regional economic policy implementation program.
