Sök finansiering för att stärka samhällets motståndskraft – från industri till beredskap

This funding opportunity from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for Northern Central Sweden supports projects that strengthen regional resilience, preparedness, and sustainable development through dual-use solutions (civil and military applications). The program focuses on building sustainable supply chains, strengthening energy supply and circular solutions, developing flexible production methods like additive manufacturing (3D printing), and increasing collaboration between businesses, research institutions, public actors, and civil society. Projects should enhance the region's innovation support system and help companies develop climate-smart business models that function in both peacetime and crisis situations. Eligible activities include feasibility studies, knowledge-building initiatives, applied research and innovation, development of support structures, system demonstrators, and strengthening food supply systems. The program aims to increase knowledge and capacity within dual-use solutions, build sustainable supply chains for food, energy and materials, develop circular, bio-based and climate-smart solutions, and strengthen cooperation between small and large companies, research and the public sector.
