More about the strategic innovation programs
Since 2013, the state finances 17 strategic innovation programs through Vinnova, the Energy Agency and Formas. Since its inception, these programme have been evaluated and analyzed in several rounds. Partly, for the programs' own development, partly to contribute to overall learning about research and innovation policy. The programs receive a decision on continued funding every three years for a maximum of 12 years. On February 27, 2024, five programme were decided within the Impact Innovation initiative, which is the next generation of strategic innovation programs.
