Förbättra industriell kapacitet för att främja försvarsförmågan

This EU-funded opportunity from Tillväxtverket (Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth) supports initiatives to improve industrial capacity for defense preparedness, prioritizing dual-use capabilities. The program aims to increase innovation capacity and competitiveness in small and medium-sized enterprises while strengthening defense capabilities, resilience, and reducing dependencies. Funding is available for projects and preparatory studies that enhance innovation, develop new business models, support knowledge-raising initiatives, promote collaboration between research, business, and public sectors, and build infrastructure for dual-use applications. The initiative focuses on the Mellersta Norrland regions (Jämtland and Västernorrland) and supports activities that contribute to crisis preparedness, resistance, and sustainable development aligned with UN Global Goal 9 (Sustainable Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure).
