Technology transfer to SME

Project time: 2014 – 2017

Budget: 6 885 000 SEK

Funding: SIP Produktion2030

Purpose and goal

The overall objective of the SME Instrument is to increase companies’ competitiveness by giving them access to new technologies, new knowledge and new methods created within the Research and Innovation (R&I) projects within Produktion2030. The purpose of the project has been to:
Increase the number of companies using results from the R&I-projects
Increase the number of SMEs linked to Produktion2030
The goal has been to package results in the projects and transfer them to arenas for further dissemination to SMEs and make them available through, among other things, w ebsite.

Results and expected effects

Outcome:
15 out of 18 R&I-projects have packaged results intended for SMEs.
The TechnologyWorkshop concept, in which SMEs, in collaboration with researchers, gained knowledge of and tested results from the projects, has been developed, tested and evaluated with IUC Sverige for broader dissemination 2017.
Participation in activities in additional arenas, a total of 1500 participants in activities that the project management participated in, most of them together with researchers in R&I projects. Increased visibility of R&I-results by increased news flow on the website

Approach and implementation

The project has focused on packaging results from R&I-projects. This has been done in the form of workshops, booklets, apps, movies, digital education and guidelines.

Arenas to interact with for dissemination to SMEs have been identified and contacts have been made. The project has participated in seminars to report on the program and results of the R&I-projects. The TechnologyWorkshop concept has been developed together with IUC Sverige, where researchers and companies meet to process questions related to the R&I-projects in focus. The news flow on the website has been increased.
