New report: Sweden takes a larger share of EU research funding than before

Published: 21 April 2026

The 2025 compilation of Sweden's participation in Horisont Europa, the world's largest framework program for research and innovation, shows that Sweden broke the trend in the share of granted funds. Sweden went from 3.3 percent in 2024 to 3.5 percent in 2025.

– From the pandemic onwards, Sweden has been on a downward spiral in its participation. It has been dropping a little bit all the time in how many percent of the money we take home. Now we take 3.5 percent, which is a jump upwards towards the goal of 3.7 percent of the contributions, says Johan Lindberg, project manager for the yearbook and national contact person for cluster 4, which deals with digital issues, industry and space.

The yearbook also shows that Sweden seems to benefit from Canada and the United Kingdom becoming associated countries, and that the projects are becoming larger and longer.
