As a part of the project Linköping Climate Neutral 2030 your company have the chance to get funding for your solution or product within the sustainability area by applying for test bed vouchers. There's a total of ten vouchers to be handed out - first come, first served!
Vinnova defines a test bed as a physical or virtual environment where companies, academia or other organizations can work for change, testing, and implementing of 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 Ebbepark, Vallastaden or in another part of Linköping municipality.
The pilot 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.
There are endless possibilities with test beds. Some previous cases are for example Space-Showers that reuses 90% of the water or a HVO station that gives entreprenours in the nearby area the opportunity to use fossile free gas and thereby saving natural resources and money.

The funding for each voucher is 20 000 SEK/voucher and can be handed out two times to the same company. You’ll need to apply separately for each voucher. There’s a total of ten (10) vouchers to be handed out per year, which goes in line with the directives within the project. The application is open all the time which means – first come, first served. The application will close when all the vouchers have been handed out!

They demonstrate that good ideas are taken seriously, and at the same time, they improve the municipality’s contact with the business community,” says Ulrika Johansson, Linköping Science Park.
