Vinnova FFI Accelerated Startup Partnership: up to SEK 750k, Sept 16 deadline
Why this matters for founders
A Swedish (or foreign, up-to-10-year-old, under-250-employee) startup in circularity, mobility, safe automation, or zero-emissions transport can partner with an incumbent and apply as sole grant recipient before the September 16, 2026 deadline. Line up the industry partner and co-financing now, since decisions come roughly two months after the deadline.
