Corporates from Sweden and Spain will have the chance to explore collaboration opportunities with cutting-edge Spanish and Swedish startups during the first edition of the digital Spain-Sweden Open Innovation Program.
As a continuation of the digital matchmaking, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the startups in person in Sweden in October.
Please note that Swedish corporates will be exclusively matched with Spanish startups, and Spanish corporates will be exclusively matched with Swedish startups, as this tailored matchmaking aims to foster connections between the two countries.
The initiative is funded and commissioned by the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (ICEX), and carried out in collaboration with Ignite Nordic.
Applications for corporates close on May 7
Applications for startups close on May 14
Please note that we cannot guarantee that you will get any matches at this event. This event is exclusive for startups established in Sweden and Spain.
Swedish startup participation is funded by Vinnova (referred to as “Verifieringsmedel” in Swedish) to support the commercialization of your innovation, covering the cost of the matchmaking process (Customer Validation Sprint). The funding allocated will be 20,000 SEK per “sprint” (i.e., each facilitated customer meeting). Participants will be required to sign a consent form allowing Ignite Nordic to receive this funding.
