Sweden’s Innovation Agency Vinnova defines a test bed as a physical or virtual environment where companies, academia, or other organizations can work to change, test, and implement new products, services, or processes within selected areas.
The goal with test bed vouchers is to make it possible for small to medium-sized enterprises to test their solutions within the climate and energy sector in the municipality of Linköping.
Short about test bed vouchers
- Each company can apply for one voucher per year.
- There are six vouchers worth 20, 000 SEK each available per year.
- The test partner must be a municipal company or administration.
- The solution must be expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to making Linköping more innovative.
Good to know:
- The tests must be included and reported as part of the Linköping Climate Neutral 2030 project.
- Municipal companies and administrations cannot apply and not be recipients of grants. However, they can be partners.
- It is the applicant who is responsible for ensuring that all information is included in the application.
