About this opportunity
Vinnova's Innovative Startups 2026 is a grant call for early-stage Swedish limited companies (aktiebolag). It funds up to SEK 500,000 per project (up to 100% of project costs, subject to state aid rules) for projects lasting at most nine months, starting March 2027. Applicants must be at most 10 years old at Vinnova's decision date, have at most 10 FTE employees, turnover or balance sheet of at most SEK 10 million, and no distributed profits. Proposals are assessed by three experts; funding among equally strong proposals is decided by lottery.
How to apply
Applications must be submitted online through Vinnova's e-services portal before the deadline on January 12, 2027 at 14:00 CET.
