InHa! Innovationsstiftung HACO

The foundation aims to a) promote innovations (product and sales innovations) or activities to open up new business areas that may have a potential direct or indirect benefit for the HACO Group in the future, or may have such a benefit. b) Create an instrument for the sustainable securing of the HACO Group's location with its headquarters in Switzerland. c) Create and support an instrument independent of the HACO Group's operational business, which can financially or materially support innovations and activities in the food sector in various forms. In particular: Exploring new product ideas/concepts, technologies, and fields of activity that have not yet reached commercial maturity or for which such maturity is not yet necessarily foreseeable. Targeted support for development platforms to promote innovations: with the potential to increase the know-how within the HACO Group; with the potential for later provision of operational services or their commercial exploitation. Support and accompaniment of start-ups with the goal of integrating their activities into the HACO Group in a determinable form at a later point in time. Promotion of platforms that deal with topics that are relevant to the HACO Group's medium-term future, without generating immediate commercial benefits for the HACO Group. Support for formats that accelerate the implementation of innovations, but have nothing to do with the HACO Group's business activities in this phase. Promotion of platforms and/or structures that are generally beneficial to the HACO Group's innovation activities. The foundation can operate in all regions of Switzerland and abroad.
