Are you looking to engage with some of the world’s most innovative startups? The SWE-DACH Energy Bridge offers CVCs based in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland the opportunity to explore collaboration and investment possibilities with world-class Swedish startups tackling tomorrow’s energy challenges.
This two-step initiative will provide a unique opportunity to receive expert scouting of the Swedish ecosystem, connect digitally with selected companies on March 19, and finalize partnerships in person in Sweden in May. The in-person visit will include a workshop with high-potential startups, a CVC roundtable, and a discovery tour of the Swedish innovation ecosystem.
The initiative is arranged by Ignite Sweden and Cleantech Scandinavia, with funding from the Swedish Energy Agency.

It is important that you indicate which of the challenges you target when you apply to this matchmaking session. The list will be available a week before applications for startups close.

Your participation is funded by Vinnova (referred to as “Verifieringsmedel” in Swedish) to support the commercialization of your innovation, covering the cost of the matchmaking process (Customer Validation Sprint). The funding allocated will be 15,000 SEK per “sprint” (i.e., each facilitated customer meeting). Participants will be required to sign a consent form allowing Ignite Sweden to receive this funding.
