Impact Innovation: Water Wise Societies pre-studies 2026 Industry collaboration for sustainable water

Now Water Wise Societies is asking about Sweden - on the way towards the mission of sustainable water for all by 2050.

• Are you a group of actors who want to work together to achieve a system change for sustainable water management - for people, society, business and the environment?
• Do you want to take on a societal challenge with relevance for industry and business that contributes to Water Wise Societies's mission "Sustainable Water for All 2050" and its goals and missions?
• Do you want to explore the feasibility and potential of your idea to create solutions that meet the needs of the challenge?

Then apply for funding in this call for proposals for preliminary studies.

It is you, applicant who defines your challenge and describes which actors need to collaborate. The challenge should be explored from a systems perspective and include several system dimensions. It should be relevant in a Swedish context. Project should be developed in close collaboration between industrial actors, business and other organisations.

Through the funding, you will have the opportunity to analyze the feasibility and investigate the potential of an intended further development work with industrial and business relevance that can contribute to the transition to sustainable water. The intended further development work should be of the nature of industrial research or experimental development.

Funded project must start on November 30, 2026 and be completed no later than October 31, 2027.

The call for proposals is carried out within the program Water Wise Societies, which is part of Impact Innovation. Impact Innovation is a joint initiative from the Swedish Energy Agency, Formas and Vinnova to meet major societal challenges through innovation and collaboration.

Water Wise Societies is driving Sweden's transition towards sustainable water for all. Via Vinnova, the Swedish Energy Agency and Formas are funding initiatives to drive change in the water sector through:

• innovation
• policy development
• capacity development
• research
• and internationalisation

The program's mission Sustainable Water for All 2050 means that water should be available in the right quantity and quality, and that it creates good conditions for people, the environment, ecosystems and business - despite a changing climate. Read more about Water Wise Societies's mission, the interim goals and assignments at the end of section 2.

Pre-studies within Water Wise Societies are a recurring effort to finance exploratory studies on themes that are particularly relevant to contributing to the transition to sustainable water. In 2026 there are two offers: "Industry collaboration for sustainable water" and "Innovative solutions with customers".

For continued development and innovation after completed project, Water Wise Societies has other and upcoming calls for proposals that support development and testing as well as implementation and transition. Continued projects can also be financed through other funders or own funds.

Project with industrial and business relevance

Industry and trade, including forestry and agriculture, are central to the transition to sustainable water for all. The sector is important for several of the missions that Water Wise Societies has defined as it depends on water as a critical resource and affects the aquatic environment in various ways. Water Wise Societies therefore wants to finance project in this area.

Predictable, robust and long-term secure access to water is crucial for the competitiveness of industry and agriculture. Sweden is facing a comprehensive industrial transition with major investments in water-intensive activities such as fossil-free steel production, mining and mineral extraction, battery and process industries, and rapidly growing digital infrastructure such as data centers, AI and cloud services. Food production is also dependent on stable access to water of the right quality.

Sweden is on average a water-rich country, but the investments mean increased pressure on water resources locally and seasonally. At the same time, industry and agriculture affect water resources and ecosystems through irrigation, land use and nutrient leakage. The connection between industry, agriculture and water resilience is clearer than ever.

Several parts of society need to work together to manage water resources in a sustainable way, including industry and agriculture. This becomes even more important when climate change and increased needs create greater variations in supply and demand. Through the call for proposals Water Wise Societies wants to increase the participation of industry and business in the work on coordinated and system-oriented water management. In this way, long-term access to water of the right quality can be created and the mission “Sustainable water for all 2050” can be achieved.

Establish long-term stakeholder groups around complex societal challenges

To make change happen, different types of experiences, expertise and cutting-edge skills are needed. It's about breaking down silos and allowing actors who otherwise wouldn't meet to discuss problems and solutions. We believe that new collaborations and new ways of working are keys to innovation and sustainable solutions.

Our hypothesis is that stakeholder groups constitute an important foundation for the continued work of Water Wise Societies. Stakeholder groups that address a complex challenge over time have great potential to contribute to the creation or introduction of new solutions as needs and opportunities are identified.

Preliminary studies

The purpose of the initiative is to give stakeholder groups the opportunity to plan long-term work on a complex societal challenge to contribute to the fulfillment of one or more of Water Wise Societies's interim goals. This will be done by:

• actors form groups or deepen and expand existing collaborations, and
• is investigating feasibility and potential in a possible follow-up work of a research and development nature.

Funded project will, among other things, analyze strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and risks of continued research and development work. The projects will also identify the resources required for continued development work and the prospects for its success.

Both new and existing groupings and structures can contribute. However, existing initiatives need to consider whether new actors should be included to contribute to the chosen mission.

Project shall:

• Be at home within the Water Wise Societies area and contribute to solving one or more of the program's missions.

• Address a complex societal challenge that stems from industry and business and is relevant in a Swedish context.
• Differentiate from existing initiatives in the area.
• Implemented in collaboration in a stakeholder group with at least three participants, of which at least one need owner from industry or business.
• Consists of activities required to plan and evaluate the feasibility of a planned further development work. This includes performing analyses and producing important data, including a systems analysis. Read more in section 4 about activities.
• Result in clear lessons learned and data that can form the basis for continued development work, for example in the form of a follow-up project.
• Produce a final report whose content is described below to Water Wise Societies.

Deliveries

Funded project shall produce the following deliverables to be reported in the final report:

1. A more in-depth description of the desired future state and a hypothesis about what system changes are needed to get there. It includes:
   • A systems analysis of opportunities and obstacles to the challenge
   • Future images for selected challenge
   • A mapping of actors relevant to the challenge. This should include a description of completed or ongoing actor mobilization
2. The result of the feasibility study, that is, whether continued research and development work has potential and is possible to implement.
   • If yes, include a suggestion for the next step. Briefly present:
     • What solutions and activities are needed
     • Whether the actor constellation needs to be developed and in what way
     • Risk analysis and risk management idea
     • Thoughts on monitoring and evaluation plan
   • If no, describe why.

If the stakeholder group after the preliminary study wants to move forward with continued research and development work, there are several options for how the next step can be financed. It is possible to apply for funds in upcoming offers in Water Wise Societies, such as the calls for proposals "Transformation Lab" or "Innovations that can change systems". It can also be about moving forward with the help of your own funding or by being granted funds from other research and innovation financiers.

What does project need to consider?

The importance of a systems perspective

Clear problems with a clear solution are not the focus of the call for proposals. They should deal with challenges that may be difficult to grasp, that are changing over time, incompletely described or visibly self-contradictory. Having a systems perspective is therefore important. This means that you look at the whole – technology, people, organisations, regulations and economics – and how changes in one part affect the others. The systems perspective is a prerequisite for societal impact.

Within Water Wise Societies ,five system dimensions are used:

• Technology, products and processes
• Transition infrastructure
• Money and value
• Policy and governance
• Acceptance and behavioral changes

We want project to identify a challenge that requires movement in multiple system dimensions and has an impact on one or more missions. For this, project need to have, or have access to, relevant expertise in systems analysis.

From previous initiatives, we know that collaborative projects that have a clear systems perspective early on have an easier time scaling up developed solutions at a later stage and thus contribute to system transformation.

The importance of foresight

In order to be able to make the courageous decisions required for system transformation, we need tools that can help us understand what lies ahead – we need to become better at understanding the future. With the help of foresight, the projects in this call for proposals can make better strategic decisions and be prepared for different possible events in the future, and how to deal with them. Based on the challenges that the projects have identified, they must create future images or future scenarios. These can, for example, concern changed behaviors, new business models or new services and technologies.

The importance of broad and active participation

In order to influence the whole of a system actors who have different perspectives and who work in different sectors, industries and parts of the value chain need to be involved. The actors need to participate actively with both authority and responsibility. Not only the creators and enablers are needed. Participation of need owner is fundamental to the project. This is to ensure that the right solutions are developed but also to create sustainable financing models over time and management structures for the solutions. In this way, they can be scaled up, distributed and utilized for the greatest effect in the system.

In addition, active work is required to remove any obstacles to the implementation of the solutions. This may, for example, be cultural factors or the need to adapt laws and regulations. This means that it is important to involve actors with influence over such issues, such as system administrators and developers, suppliers and users, already in the formulation of the challenge.

The importance of having an international perspective

In order to contribute to Water Wise Societies's interim goals, the projects need to be both relevant in a Swedish context and have an international outlook. Solutions or contexts may exist internationally, or your future new solutions may create international interest or competitiveness and attract international actors. The projects therefore need to work with an international perspective and active monitoring of the external environment.

Program objectives and missions

Water Wise Societies has three interim goals and ten missions that together will contribute to achieving the mission Sustainable Water for All 2050:

1. Resilient supply and management of water in society
   - Safe supply and management of water
   - Ensure good drinking water quality
   - Adapt society to flood and drought
   - Build and manage society in harmony with water
2. Wise water use- Ensure sustainable water withdrawals
   - Reduce water use and leakage
   - Recycle and reuse water and its resources
3. Healthy lakes, streams and groundwater- Reduce negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems
   - Prevent and reduce the spread of hazardous substances
   - Reduce eutrophication in lakes and streams

For more information about the missions and the “From Source to Coast” system, see Water Wise Societies's website.

Contribute to a sustainable system transition

All project within Water Wise Societies will contribute to sustainable societal transformation in line with Impact Innovations's ambitions in this regard.

This means that the projects should:

• contribute to both ecological, social and economic sustainability,
• stimulate collaboration between private, public and non-profit actors, and

• contribute to Sweden's and the world's common objective in Agenda 2030.

Together we will show how innovation can create a sustainable, competitive and water-wise society in Sweden and internationally.

An innovative force in a sustainable world

Equal funding of innovations

Your project should integrate gender equality both in how your project team is composed and how you implement the project. This means that you need to:

• take into account the gender balance within the project team
• assess whether aspects of sex and gender are relevant to the design of the project, and if so, in what way.

By integrating different perspectives, more inclusive and relevant solutions are developed. This strengthens both the innovation capacity and the project's results.

Gender equality as a tool for innovative social development

Make scientific publications and results available

This the call for proposals will also contribute to making results available to everyone. Therefore, all scientific publishing should be open access. When results from research and innovation are made freely available, more people can contribute to solving societal challenges.

The call for proposals is aimed at both new and existing groups of actors in the system "from source to coast". See description on Water Wise Societies website.

Relevant actors are:

• Companies and industries
• Public sector
• Research organizations and institutes
• Civil society organizations

Actor types

We have identified that the following types of actors can be crucial for successful implementation:

• Need owner - those who need new solutions. Need owner should have influence over the system or area where the change is to be tested.
• Users and stakeholders- those who use the solutions, such as customers and users. They are important demanders who should be involved in the project for, for example, needs identification. Stakeholders, those who are affected by the solution being used, may also need to be involved in the project.
• Enablers – those who improve the conditions for solutions to be used, for example authorities and organisations that set rules and standards.
• Solution owners - those who develop, test and commercialize solutions.
• Intermediaries - actors who can perform development, testing and demonstration of solutions, such as universities, university colleges, consultants and institutes.
• Foreign actors - To ensure an international perspective, foreign actors may be required to participate in the project. However, they cannot receive funding.

One or more need owner need to participate in a significant way in project. In addition to need owner, at least one other actor type should participate in the project.

Project roles

Those of you who apply together do so as participants, where one of you acts as the main applicant ( coordinator).

A participant is actively involved in the project and shares risks and results. It is important that participants and key people participate with active commitment.

All organisations that have eligible costs in the project must be listed in proposal as participants. This means that they need to book and report auditable costs for the project.

Actors who will participate to a lesser extent, for example in a reference group, can collaborate without being participant. They are then not included in the project's finances, but their participation is described in the project description.

It is also possible to participate as a subcontractor to a participant.

Provisions regarding actors in the project

• The projects must be carried out in collaboration between at least three participants. At least one of the actors must be a need owner from industry or business.
  • Business: Private actors who conduct economic activities by offering goods or services in a market, including agriculture.
  • Industry: Companies and businesses focused on the production, processing or industrialization of goods and associated processes.
• Main applicant ( coordinator) and participants are always legal entities. Natural persons or individual companies cannot participate as coordinator or participants.
• If consultants are used, they must be external. That is, consulting services must be purchased from external actors on market term. Participants in the project may not purchase services or goods from another participant.
• Foreign actors can participate as participants on the following term:
  • A foreign actor cannot be coordinator.
  • In order for foreign actors to be granted funding, they must have a Swedish business registration number and that the costs of participating in the project are incurred in a Swedish branch or establishment.

We finance:

• Activities carried out together in a stakeholder group to explore the feasibility of an envisaged future development work. These activities should constitute a major part of the project costs.

• Formation, development and deepening of stakeholder group

Important activities in funded project are to deepen the understanding of the chosen societal challenge, seek collaboration with actors, perform analyses and produce data. The exact activities needed may vary depending on the challenge being addressed and whether the organisations behind the project belong to a new or existing grouping.

Examples of activities that can be financed to:

• Plan further research and development work, for example how new solutions will be tested, evaluated and scaled up. Includes budgeting, resource estimation, risk analysis, follow-up plan, etc.
• Map and analyze selected societal challenge in five system dimensions
• Conduct foresight activities to develop your intended project – developing scenarios or future visions for your challenge.
• Identify and mobilize actors who need to be involved to realize the desired future.

We do not finance:

• Distinct research projects. However, Research may occur when this is justified to achieve the project's objective.
• Routine or recurring development of existing solutions or other ongoing activities.
• Project where the benefit only accrues to individual actors.

What costs can we finance?

Our funding is subject to state aid rules. The rules govern what types of costs we can finance. These are called eligible costs.

In this the call for proposals, these types of costs are eligible:

• Salary costs: Gross salary paid, employer contributions and other salary costs.
• Equipment, land and buildings: Costs for instruments, equipment and rent for premises other than regular business premises.
• Consulting and licensing costs: Costs for consulting services, knowledge and patents purchased or used under license from an external party. These costs may amount to a maximum of 20 percent of an organization's budget. In case of special needs, for example if the project requires specialist expertise, we can accept a higher proportion. This must then be justified in proposal, and the justification will be taken into account in our assessment.
• Other direct costs: Costs for, for example, materials, supplies and travel that are necessary to carry out the project.

• Indirect costs (overhead): Costs that are linked to the project but do not arise directly, such as premises and cleaning. Indirect costs may amount to a maximum of 30 percent of salary costs. Universities, university colleges, research organizations and government agencies may have higher permitted levels, depending on activities.

Project groups funded in this call for proposals must participate in certain meetings and knowledge-raising activities held by the Water Wise Societies program office. The project groups must also be available for dialogue with the Water Wise Societies program office or another actor designated by the program office during the duration of the project. Projects are asked to allocate 25 hours for program-related activities in the budget, which is an eligible cost.

For more detailed information about which costs we can finance, see Instructions for eligible costs

What eligibility requirements apply to costs we finance?

In order for your costs to be eligible for support, the following applies:

• They must be factual, reasonable and necessary for the activities in the project.
• They must be booked correctly and under a separate project code in the accounting. You may not cover project costs with other public funding or your own funds intended for other project.
• An organisation may not claim another organization's costs as its own.

Please note that participant may not purchase services or goods from another participant within the project.

For more detailed information on which eligibility requirements, limitations and exclusions apply, see our general terms and conditions.

state aid rules govern how much of the costs we can finance. This is determined individually for each organisation. We therefore differentiate between how much funding the project can receive, and how much a participating organisation can receive.

How much funding can the project receive?

You can apply for a maximum of 11 months in this call for proposals. The project can receive a maximum of SEK 600,000 in funding. The project's aid intensity may not exceed 70%.

How much funding can a participating organisation receive?

Descriptions in the following sections about what support we can provide are simplified. For full information, see Rules for funding | State aid to economic activities (companies) | Vinnova.

The amount of funding a participating organisation can receive depends primarily on:

• the organisation's size and activities
• which activities the organisation will carry out in the project.

In this the call for proposals we provide support to both organisations that carry out economic activities ( state aid) and organisations that do not carry out economic activities according to EU state aid rules.

How is it determined whether an organisation is engaged in economic activities or non-economic activities?

An organisation that offers some kind of service or product on a market is considered to be engaged in economic activities. It does not matter how the organisation is financed: whether it is public or private, or whether it has a profit motive. It also does not matter what legal form the business has. For example, whether it is a limited liability company, a trading company, an economic association, a non-profit association or a foundation.

Non-economic activities. This means that the organisation does not offer a service or product to a market. This usually includes universities and university colleges, research institutes and other public organisations.

If an organisation carries out both types of activities, these should be kept separate in the accounts, so that the support only goes to the part that is eligible for support.

If you are unsure whether an organisation in your project is conducting economic activities, contact call manager. However, The organisation is responsible for assessing whether it is conducting economic activities.

Support to organisations that do not conduct economic activities

In this the call for proposals we provide support to organisations that do not engage in economic activities. This usually includes universities and university colleges, research institutes and other organisations that do not offer a service or product on a market.

In this call for proposals we can fund up to 100 percent of such organisations' eligible costs.

Can municipal water and sanitation companies apply for funding as non-economic activities?

The question has not been legally tested in Sweden. However, there are good reasons to view municipal water operations in Sweden as legal monopolies, which would mean that municipal water companies can use non-economic activities as basis for support.

Two conditions are that:​

• The projects must be carried out within the part of the business that is based on the legal monopoly.
• The organisation must distinguish between costs, funding and revenues from activities that are of an economic and non-economic nature. Otherwise, cross-subsidization of economic activities may occur.

Support for organisations with economic activities

In this the call for proposals we provide support for feasibility studies.

Feasibility studies can be simply described as an evaluation. It analyzes the following:

• Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks in an upcoming research and development project.
• What resources are required to carry out the project.
• How likely it is that the project will succeed.

How much of the costs can we finance?

The organisation's size and type of activity determine the proportion of costs that we can finance. This is called the maximum support level.

Support for feasibility studies:

• Small business: 70%
• Medium-sized company: 60%
• Large company: 50%

Minor Support to businesses

We can also provide de minimis support, also known as support of minor importance. We can fund up to 100 percent of an organization's costs.

An organisation can receive a maximum of 300,000 euros over a three-year period in this form of support, regardless of the funder and project. This means that if the same organisation has received support of lesser importance in other project from other funders in the past, it will affect how large the support can be in this the call for proposals.

Submit a certificate of de minimis support when you submit proposal. This is required for us to be able to grant this support.

Certificate of de minimis support

We can only grant applications that meet our formal eligibility requirements.

Some of the requirements need to be met at the time of application in order for us to assess your proposal. If these eligibility requirements are not met, we will reject proposal immediately.

For certain formal eligibility requirements we may allow additions to correct obvious errors. This is provided that the action does not result in a substantive change to proposal.

Eligibility requirements on participants

• All participating organisations must be legal entities. Individuals or sole proprietorships cannot participate. Foreign legal entities can participate if they have a branch or establishment in Sweden and the costs are incurred by the branch or establishment. We may allow certain additions regarding this eligibility requirements.
• The coordinating party must be a Swedish legal entity and conduct activities in Sweden.
• At least three participants must participate in the project, including the coordinating party.

Eligibility requirements on proposal

• Proposal must be written in Swedish or English.
• Proposal must follow the instructions under the heading "How to apply" in section 9. We may allow certain additions regarding this eligibility requirements.
• Proposal must contain all requested attachments. We may allow certain additions regarding this eligibility requirements.

Applications that meet our eligibility requirements will proceed to assessment. In the assessment, we look at how much potential your idea has, how realistic it is and who will implement the project.

What do we assess?

When assessing applications, we look at three main criteria:

• Potential: We analyze what effects and what value we can expect from the project.
• Actors: We assess the participants' competence and ability to implement the project and achieve the desired results and effects.
• Feasibility: We assess how realistic and credible the project plan is, both for implementing the project and for achieving the desired results.

Potential

• Relevance: To what extent proposal concerns a complex societal challenge with relevance to industry and business and to Water Wise Societies's mission, and to what extent the project proposal is about evaluating the feasibility of possible future research and development work.
• System perspective: The extent to which the formulation of the challenge is underpinned by a systems perspective and requires a movement within multiple system dimensions.
• Innovation: To what extent does the project and its intended results differ or position themselves against already existing contexts and larger initiatives in the area.
• Funding for Water Wise Societies: To what extent is the project considered to be able to contribute positively to Water Wise Societies's mission in the long term?
• Gender equality perspective: To what extent have solutions been defined taking into account a gender equality perspective and can thus contribute to increased gender equality.

Actors

• Different types of actors: To what extent the project includes need owner from industry and business, as well as other relevant types of actors needed for the chosen challenge (see section 3).
• Actors' capacity: The extent to which the project partners have the competence and ability to implement the project. This includes the project partners' credibility and ability to create an effective and well-established cross-border actor group.
• Project manager and project team: How well the project manager and other key people are assessed to be able to lead and implement the project. This includes the extent to which the project team has, or has access to, relevant expertise in systems analysis.
• Team gender equality: How well and equally the financial contribution, participation, power and influence are distributed between women and men in the project team.

Feasibility

• Project plan and budget: To what extent is the project based on a credible project plan and budget where the activities are linked to project objectives, desired results and long-term effects
• Collaboration: Commitment and degree of active collaboration between participating actors and involvement of users or other relevant stakeholders.
• International outlook: To what extent are there activities in the project plan that support an international outlook.
• Goal conflicts: The extent to which management of potential goal conflicts is integrated into the project plan.
• Perspectives on sex and gender: How well perspectives on sex and gender have been integrated into the project plan.
• Consulting services and licenses: How well the need for consulting services and licenses is justified. This only applies if an organization's budget includes more than 20 percent consulting and license costs.

How do we assess?

Once we have received the applications, we review them. We screen out any applications that are incomplete or do not meet our eligibility requirements.

The applications that are correct and complete are distributed among different evaluator and assessed in competition with each other. The evaluators are appointed by us based on their expertise in the field. Each proposal is assessed by at least three evaluator.

Once the evaluators have reviewed the applications, we have an assessment meeting where the evaluators recommend which applications should be granted.

How does it affect an organization's financial status?

Before we decide on funding we also make a comprehensive assessment of the organizational and financial status of those who receive funding.

We use information we receive from credit reports, currently from Dun & Bradstreet. We may also ask small and medium-sized businesses to demonstrate that they have the financial capacity to carry out the project.

In our assessment we check this:

• That organisations that are granted funding for payroll costs are registered as employers with the Swedish Tax Agency. If such registration does not exist when we make a decision, you must be able to show that a notification has been made. We do not approve retroactive registration.
• That organisations is not insolvent, or undergoing liquidation or corporate restructuring. You must also not have any significant unpaid debts with the Swedish Enforcement Authority.
• That the project manager is employed by the coordinating party in the project.
• That a limited liability company has not used up half or more of its share capital.

Once we have assessed all applications, we will send you a decision either granting or rejecting your proposal. Since applications are assessed competitively, you may be rejected even though you meet all eligibility requirements and criteria.

In the decision we state how large a proportion of the costs we will cover for each organisation.

You cannot appeal our decision, but you are welcome to apply to us again at another time.

What happens if you are granted funding?

If we grant your proposal, you must follow our general terms and conditions for funding. The terms include, among other things:

• That you will sign a special document in which you approve your participation and commit to carrying out the project.
• That you report how things are going, your costs and achieved results to us during the project period.
• If you are multiple parties, you must have a written project agreement that regulates your mutual rights and obligations in the project. All parties must sign the agreement before the project starts. Since it can take time to develop and negotiate an agreement, we recommend that you start this as soon as possible.
• How the results will be used and how any scientific publication will take place.

See our general terms and conditions

You also need to follow the special conditions that apply to this the call for proposals:

• The project must participate in certain activities organized by Water Wise Societies. The project must also have contact with the Water Wise Societies program office or another actor designated by the program office during the duration of the project.
