Nano-Argovia program: Applied interdisciplinary projects in collaboration with companies from Northwestern Switzerland Since the SNI was founded, it has promoted technology and knowledge transfer as part of the Nano-Argovia program. In 2022, the SNI supported a total of 12 applied research projects in collaboration with industrial compa- nies from Northwestern Switzerland. A wide range of topics were addressed, with some projects investigating medical or diagnostic applications and others focusing on improved meth- ods for analyzing or processing various materials. Half of the partner companies in 2022 came from the Canton of Aargau, and the other half came from one of the two Basel half cantons. Partners included not only young startups but also established companies from the region. In 2022, the ANAXAM technology transfer center, of which the SNI is a founding member, also took part in one project as part of the Nano- Argovia program. 34 SNI Annual Report 2022
