Startups in the canton of Graubünden can use contributions and loans for product, process and service innovations at an early stage (Economic Development Act). These funds are issued on the basis of the business model or business plan and are based on jointly defined milestones related to the development progress of the relevant innovation. Development services are taken into account for funding. For these, contributions can be granted that do not have to be reimbursed up to a maximum of 25%.
In addition, infrastructures that are necessary for the implementation of the innovation (production facilities, clean rooms, etc.) can be funded with loans.
There is also the option of tax relief, which can be checked by the cantonal tax administration. The moderate corporate income tax rate, the patent box with a tax relief of up to 90% and an R&D excess deduction of up to 50% offer further tax advantages for innovative companies.
