Impact Innovation-call for startups and scaleups

The first call for proposals for actors who want to be involved in and contribute to one of the Impact Innovation-programme’s missions opens on March 18. The call for proposals is aimed at startups and scaleups, small and medium-sized companies.

What can you apply for?

Project proposals that have a strong connection and contribute with clear values to one of Impact Innovations’s programmes. The project proposals must relate to development projects and not to feasibility studies or routine business or product development projects.

Who can apply?

Small and medium-sized companies with 3-249 employees who have submitted at least two annual reports.

How much can you apply for?

Funding can be granted with a maximum of one million kronor per project. The grant may correspond to a maximum of 90 percent of the project’s eligible costs for small companies, and 50 percent for medium-sized companies.

Application deadline is 23 April 2024.

On March 21, an information meeting will be held about the call for proposals. Participate and read more about the call for proposals on Vinnova’s website.
