Increase regional collaborations - Done through various coordination regionally and nationally. This contribute to a long term economic growth and Swedisk international competitiveness.
Approach and implementation
A request-for-finance model for BIO-X was developed as part of the national rollout. A modified variant was implemented as part of Swelife´s hands-on model. Regional nodes were established in Eastern middle Sweden/Stockholm, Western Sweden and Northern Sweden as part of the national rollout. Regional nodes in Linköping, Skåne and Stockholm were established as part of Swelifes hands-on. Visibility and marketing was primarily carried through via SULS. Later also through other Campaigns such as "EMA to Sweden". Further collaboration delivered through eg UIC, Innovation Akademiska
