Upscaling for a sustainable industry

Closes: 2021-04-15 at 14:00

This is a call for proposals within Vinnova´s priority area Sustainable Industry. In Sweden, several initiatives are is running aimed at developing a Swedish sustainable industry. Many of these initiatives are in relatively early stages of development, but can, with the right conditions, grow into pilot and demonstration projects that can eventually be translated into industrial solutions. Upscaling and testing of concepts in a real environment is considered a prerequisite for minimizing risks, creating a basis for acceptance and promoting the commercialization of solutions that contribute to sustainability and climate change. This call therefore calls for project proposals for further development and upscaling of solutions that, after implementation, contribute to a climate-neutral and sustainable industry. The overall purpose is to - through support for testing and demonstration in a real environment - promote industrial implementation.

What can you apply for?

Project which aims to develop and validate technology, methods, processes, business models on a larger scale and create conditions for national / international dissemination, implementation and utilization of the project´s results. Concepts/solutions must start at a maturity level corresponding to a at least TRL 5 and are expected to reach at least TRL 7 by the end of the project.

Who can apply?

The call is aimed at stakeholder constellations consisting of parties (legal entities) that open up for system-wide adjustment work, where entire ecosystems and value chains / value networks are covered.
