Who can apply

'Svenska aktiebolag som är högst 10 år gamla, har max 10 anställda, högst 10 mkr i nettoomsättning'. Vinnova grants of this type are commonly awarded as försumbart stöd (de minimis), but the call page text we read did not state it, so it is not asserted here.

How to apply

  1. Check that the company is a Swedish aktiebolag no more than 10 years old, with at most 10 employees and at most SEK 10 million net turnover. — link
  2. Log in and complete the application in Vinnova's e-service, describing the project, the parties and the budget. — link
  3. Submit before the closing time; Vinnova assesses and notifies the decision.
