Financial overview
In fiscal year 2021, the committed financial resources of the Wyss Academy for Nature were not fully used. New and ongoing projects did not advance as quickly as desired and recruitment of the research and innovation teams took longer than expected. Other reasons were unforeseen complexities in setting up the global hubs during the Covid-19 pandemic. For this reason, the Wyss Academy posted ordinary earnings of CHF 10.89 million.
