The project aims to create an attractive platform for international companies, especially from the USA, to establish in northern Sweden. By taking advantage of the region’s rich natural resources, renewable energy sources and strong innovation environments, the project strives to strengthen the green transition and industrial development in Norrbotten and V\u00e4sterbotten.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Background<\/h3>\n

For Northern Sweden to fully benefit from the ongoing green transformation, it is crucial to attract not only large companies but also SMEs and scaleups. This requires a structured and attractive soft landing program that can offer comprehensive support and resources for these companies. By taking inspiration from international successful programs and adapting them to the specific conditions in Northern Sweden, the project can create an environment that not only attracts but also supports international companies in their establishment and growth.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h3>\n

The project’s objective is to further develop previous soft landing programs to attract scaleups and established companies to Northern Sweden with a focus on the European market.<\/p>\n

Offer – Soft Landing<\/h3>\n

Skellefte\u00e5 Innovation Park, Pite\u00e5 Science Park and Lule\u00e5 Science Park will function together as smaller one-stop shops, where companies can get everything they need for establishment projects in one place instead of going to several different actors. This can eventually contribute to larger one-stop shops for permit processes according to the Net-Zero Industry Act.<\/p>\n

Workplaces at Skellefte\u00e5 Innovation Park, Pite\u00e5 Science Park and Lule\u00e5 Science Park.
\nAccess to networks, clusters and communities.<\/p>\n

Test and demo<\/h3>\n

Opportunity to use test and demo environments to test new technology and solutions in the Arctic climate.<\/p>\n

Accelerator program and matchmaking
\nAccess to growth programs and matchmaking between scaleups, industrial customers and international companies.<\/p>\n

Knowledge transfer<\/h3>\n

Exchange of knowledge between northern Sweden and Silicon Valley within selected focus areas, with a focus on decision-makers, research institutions and networks.<\/p>\n
