Vinnova supports early-stage startups with grant funding in order to validate, verify and develop their business. Vinnova’s goal is to create conditions for Swedish companies to develop their operations in phases where other funding is difficult to obtain.
Sweden is driving the Nordics to be the world’s best region for deep tech startups by developing unicorns such as Northvolt and Einride. Vinnova, Sweden’s government agency that administers state funding for research and development, supports companies at pivotal stages in their development.
