About this opportunity
This funding opportunity from Tillväxtverket (Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth) invites projects that can improve the innovation climate in Jämtland and Västernorrland regions. The program particularly welcomes projects that develop small and medium-sized enterprises' knowledge about smart specialization, industrial transformation, and entrepreneurship, as well as initiatives that include research and innovation equipment, such as building physical test environments. Projects should contribute to increased innovation capacity in Mellersta Norrland through knowledge-enhancing and promoting initiatives or support for developing and commercializing ideas to strengthen companies' long-term development. The program aims to improve small and medium-sized companies' innovation capacity, create jobs through productive investments, and support the development of networks for knowledge transfer and global value chains. The funding is part of the European Regional Development Fund 2021-2027 and focuses on addressing the region's challenges with low business investment in research and innovation.
