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. Please note that we cannot guarantee that you will get any matches at this event. This event is exclusive for startups established in Sweden.
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.
