Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Techarenan innovation clusters aim to lift innovation and entrepreneurship by, among other things, organizing an annual entrepreneurial competition and by creating an arena that connects entrepreneurs from different industries with each other, with potential customers from both public and private sectors, investors, decision makers, and politicians.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** In total, nearly 400 startup and growth companies applied to Techarenans Innovationskluster. Of these, 50 startups were selected and growth companies are selected based on the criteria; scalability, global applicability, uniqueness / innovation level and expertise within the team. These become part of Techarenan´s innovation cluster.
Approach and implementation
In July, the final days started where 50 startup and growth companies were invited to showcase their products and services, network, attend seminars, pitch and create business / partnerships. During the fall, companies from the Innovation Cluster gathered with representatives from the established industry, investors and politicians to Entrepreneurs Convention. In February, six companies went to Sao Paolo with the winner delegation. The trip aims to help companies create business contacts, build a relevant network and gain a deeper understanding of the business culture.
