About This Opportunity

Vinnova invites established organizations with public mandates (intermediaries) that do not distribute profits to their owners to apply for funding to establish innovation advisory services. The purpose is to accelerate the transition of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) to a competitive and resilient Swedish manufacturing industry with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. The intermediaries will provide coaching, mentorship, access to competencies, knowledge, education, and infrastructure to help SMEs achieve net-zero emissions. This call is part of the Net Zero Industry program's mission-strategic initiatives for small and medium-sized enterprises within Impact Innovation, an initiative by the Swedish Energy Agency, Formas, and Vinnova. The advisory services should guide companies through maturity stages from analysis and concept development through development to monitoring and validation of their transition efforts.
