NCCR Catalysis Turbo Grant

Innovation is at the heart of NCCR Catalysis, and entrepreneurship is an important driving force in implementing sustainable chemistry and catalysis. The NCCR Catalysis Turbo Grant supports research projects as they transition into a start-up company. This provides budding entrepreneurs with up to one year’s salary as they further develop their prototype, business plan, and assess the market. During this period, they are hosted in one of our NCCR Catalysis member labs, integrated as members of our network, and supported by our Project Office.

The application form and general terms and conditions of the grant are available here. All applications must be co-signed by the supporting PI, though the Grant does not require that you are a member of NCCR Catalysis prior to application.

If you have any questions about the Turbo Grant, or generally about turning your catalysis and sustainable chemistry technology into a spin-off, please get in touch with our KTT Officers, Lauren Gamp and Dr. Marc Creus at .

For the current edition of the Turbo Grant, applications are open until 26 October 2025.
