Projects must contribute to Stockholm region's smart specialization areas including life science, ICT and digitalization, industrial transformation through sustainable production, and climate and environmental initiatives for sustainable urban development. The program prioritizes advanced support services to SMEs and support to organizations to develop their operations, services, or processes.
