VINNOVA – Sweden’s Innovation Agency

VINNOVA 100 million invested in cutting-edge information and communication technologies

Press release, 2008-04-18

In a new VINNOVA venture funded ten cutting-edge technology solutions in information and communication technology with 100 million. Projects These include optical communications, advanced multimedia technologies for healthcare and wireless sensor networks.

The initiative “Pioneering ICT” finances the development of pioneering technological achievements in embedded systems, software and hardware. In the long term, projects should provide successful commercial solutions for the Swedish systems industry. A total of ten projects funded by 100 million during 2008-2010.

- The projects that we are now focusing on spanning key areas where Swedish industry has traditionally been strong but we continue to need to be even stronger in order to be internationally competitive, says Jonas Wallberg, Unit Manager at VINNOVA.

The selection has been made in close cooperation with a large number of representatives from industry and academia. Total applied for 90 projects of about 800 million.

At KTH financed four projects with just over 37 million. At Chalmers financed three projects with more than 34 million. Moreover funded a project at Uppsala University with almost 10 million, a project at Linköping University with 6 million and a project at Acreo in Kista with just over 12 million.
