Purpose and goal
The aim is to complete the establishment phase of Sweden Startup Next by further developing an AI-driven national data platform for startups and scaleups. The goal is to ensure data quality, complete the data model and technical architecture, and launch a test version for broad feedback from the ecosystem. The project will create the conditions for the transition to the next phase with full-scale operation.
Expected effects and result
The project is expected to deliver a functioning beta platform with improved data quality, established data sources and common definitions for analysis. The effects will be increased transparency in the innovation system, better decision-making support for actors and strengthened collaboration around data sharing. In the long term, this will enable more efficient policy development and increased competitiveness for Swedish startups.
Planned approach and implementation
The project will be implemented over a six-month period, focusing on technical development, data collection and quality assurance. The work includes further development of the platform´s functions, integration of data sources and establishment of processes for manual data collection. A test version is launched for feedback. The project is run by a team of developers and project manager in close collaboration with the ecosystem´s actors.
