Innovation is critical for companies to remain successful over the long term. At the same time, innovation demands large investments and entails a lot of risk. “An innovation project can quickly cost CHF 2 million, and it takes a good two years until we know if the new idea can be translated into a marketable product with paying customers,” says Ian Roberts, Chief Technology Officer at the Bühler group. Bühler is a Swiss tech firm and globally leading producer of machinery for the food industry and other sectors.
