Innovation Voucher

Speed Up Innovation: and Get Ahead.

Sting is proud to offer Innovation Vouchers, which are funded by Vinnova. We are intermediaries on behalf of Vinnova and SISP to help Stockholm-based startups strengthen their innovation and competitiveness. This initiative, started by the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova, is designed to support Swedish SMEs in Deep Tech sectors like health, society, and climate—Sting's key focus areas.

What is an Innovation Voucher?

An Innovation Voucher is designed to strengthen your company’s innovation capacity and competitiveness.
You can apply for vouchers worth up to 100,000 SEK for business development, or IP strategy, or up to 400,000 SEK for infrastructure

The vouchers cover external expertise in three key areas:

  • Business Development: Validate and verify the commercial and technical viability of your innovation idea.
  • Infrastructure: Access to labs, testbeds, and demo facilities necessary for validation and scaling.
  • IP Strategy: Develop a plan for managing intellectual property and enhancing long-term competitiveness.

Why do we do it?
