More about the project
During the project, activities will be carried out in order to give small and medium-sized companies the knowledge and tools they need to:
- Increase knowledge about the importance of innovation, research and development.
- Invest more time and resources in research and development
- Find collaborations with researchers and students.
- Develop their business models.
The project strives to get students and researchers to collaborate with companies to develop and exchange knowledge, as well as jointly develop solutions to current challenges. Common areas of interest from business and academia can then become a basis for research that both maintains high scientific quality and leads to a more innovative and competitive business life.
The project is aimed at small and medium-sized companies in industry, manufacturing, IT and communication in Kronoberg County. The goal is to increase companies' R&D investments, increase productivity and contribute to the county's economic growth.
