      Can I apply for several calls at the same time?

      We do not allow companies to receive funding for different project in the same call for proposals.

      We do not allow companies to receive funding for the same project in different announcements from Vinnova or from other public financiers.

      There are no formal barriers to applying for different project in different calls at the same time. When reviewing the proposal, the motivation for the company's capacity to run two project parallel is assessed.

      Can I apply with a subsidiary?

      Subsidiaries may apply, but the requirement for a maximum number of employees and net sales / balance sheet total applies to parent companies together with subsidiaries, calculated on the basis of the number of ownership percentages in each company.

      The guide to the EU's SME definition contains examples of different ownership and help to calculate the data, from page 12 onwards: www. !!!!! 00022093.mask / 1

      We assess the motives for carrying out the project in a subsidiary. Vinnova's objective is not to start new companies, but to give start-ups with high-risk projects the opportunity to take the first development steps.

      Can I apply if the company is registered abroad?

      Companies that have a branch, place of business or a branch office with independent administration in Sweden may apply for funding, if the company has a Swedish organization number.

      Please note that the same formal eligibility requirements apply to the foreign company.

      The applicant shall attach the corresponding registration certificate for foreign companies to proposal.

    How to apply

    To apply for funding, you need to log in and complete an application form in our eServices portal. The application form contains questions about your project, the participants taking part in the project and your budget. 

    Please allow enough time

    Please keep in mind that it takes time to complete an application. Filling in the templates can take several days, since they're based on analyses you need to do. Therefore, start the application well in advance. You can start filling in your details, then save and continue at a later time.

    When you've completed your application, please mark it as done ("klar"). You can unlock and make changes to your application at any time until the call closes. If you unlock your application, you must mark it as done ("klarmarkera") if you want the application registered when the call closes. 

    This happens when the call is closed

    Once your proposal has been registered, we will email a confirmation to the person in charge of the user account and to the project manager and company signatory. This may take a few hours after the call is closed. If you have not received a confirmation within 24 hours after the call has closed, get in touch with us.

    When the call is closed, you can not change or fill in any new information. Then you can only complete your proposal if we ask for it.

    Who can read your proposal?

    Applications submitted to us become public documents. But we do not disclose information about the business, inventions or research results if it can be assumed that someone is suffering financial damage if the information is shown.

    This means that we must release the documents if someone requests them. However, we keep confidential the information that we believe could cause financial damage if it is disclosed.
