When a “brilliant idea” has been worked out and a “good business plan” drawn up, the fledging company which wishes to launch – and take immediate advantage of good financial support – can approach the Neuchâtel Cooperative Society Interface PME, followed by the banks, then the cantonal Department for Economic Development if it relates to a creative business, or even Néode if it is a high-tech “start-up” company.

Elsewhere, the Canton of Neuchâtel actively supports entrepreneurs and companies in the development or set up of their business, especially in the following areas.

• Machines and equipment
• Technico and bio-medical
• Measuring instruments, watch making and luxury products
• Micro technique in the wider sense (linked to life sciences)
• Green technology
