The purpose of the call “Innovation Ideas” is to increase opportunities for SMEs and small and medium-sized municipalities to develop ideas that can lead to innovation. This can also involve getting the chance to work on previously developed ideas that require testing on a smaller scale prior to implementation or scale-up in day-to-day operations. The call, in accordance with Smart Built Environment goals, will contribute to the sustainable development of the built environment. Digitalisation and industrial processes should be central methods in the project activities funded. Applications can address processes, forms of collaboration, business models, technology or a combination of these.

Innovation Ideas spring 2024
The projects applying for grants must:
  • Contribute to a sustainable built environment, with digitalisation and industrial processes in focus.
  • If relevant, contribute to greater equity and equality in the built environment and, when applicable, clearly describe in the application how the project does this. See Smart Built Environment Equality Guide (in Swedish)
  • Develop ideas or solutions that are scalable and applicable in different environments (for example, in planning and permitting processes in municipalities, regions or in construction projects).

The projects should address at least one of the four thematic areas of Smart Built Environment. Projects must contribute to and address one or more of the short-term impacts for 2024 as described in Smart Built Environment Impact Logic 2.0 (in Swedish).
