Bumpy flying at high altitude?

In this evaluation report Vinnova presents the second evaluation of the initiatives in the third announcement of the Vinnväxt-programme. The initiatives were selected through a call for Innovation Systems in Early Stages. The aim was to find fresh initiatives with major growth potential which were not yet fully established in their regions. In 2005 the programme council and three assessment panels, plus officials and experts from Vinnova, selected five growth initiatives to receive SEK 2 million each for two years. In June 2008, four of these initiatives were upgraded to Vinnväxt winners. Three of these initiatives still get funding through the programme and these are the three that have been evaluated in this report:

• Smart Textiles
• The Biorefinery of the Future
• Peak Innovation
