About This Opportunity

This grant program aims to strengthen small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Norrbotten and Västerbotten regions of Sweden during a period of historic industrial transformation. The program supports projects that provide SMEs with access to new knowledge, resources, capacities, and environments that are otherwise difficult to reach. Supported initiatives include shared equipment, systems, platforms, services, advisory support, and new working methods that strengthen competitiveness, broaden customer bases, and increase capacity to participate in green and digital transformation. Projects must be implemented through collaboration and lead to long-term benefits for SMEs throughout both regions. The program focuses on creating concrete resources and sustainable capacities that strengthen small businesses both today and in the future, with particular emphasis on reducing vulnerability, creating robust supply chains, and enabling participation in the region's green industrial investments.
