Purpose and goal
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The overall goal is to strengthen the competitiveness of Swedish industry by enabling increased excellence in SMEs. The initiative aims to introduce more Swedish SMEs in lightweight technology to the innovation system and to support them to move on to larger R&D and customer projects. LIGHTer Småföretag has a particular interest in supporting smaller companies that work with lightweight technology and which previously did not receive major public research funds to enter the innovation system.
Expected effects and result
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Increased competition and excellence in participating companies. At least 30 companies that have not previously applied for LIGHTer Småföretag must have submitted a proposal, and at least 15 of them will be granted project.
Planned approach and implementation

Information dissemination before calls for proposals and coaching of SMEs into the Swedish innovation system, for example through collaboration with IUCer.
