Ready to take your innovation further? Explore your next Sweden–Brazil collaboration.
Innovation Accelerator Sessions (IAS) help organizations in Sweden and Brazil move concrete R&D and innovation opportunities forward. We focus on collaboration-ready cases rather than early-stage ideas. Together with our network, we help you explore relevant research and industry partners, test or pilot opportunities and possible funding pathways.
Applications are open and reviewed throughout the year.
A Sweden–Brazil Match & Connect Initiative.
Is your case ready for IAS?
IAS is designed for companies and organizations with a concrete challenge, solution or innovation that is ready to explore collaboration between Sweden and Brazil.
We are especially looking for cases with:
Collaboration readiness
Your challenge, solution or innovation is mature enough to explore a concrete next step with a partner in Sweden or Brazil.
Capacity to collaborate
Your organization has the time, resources and commitment to actively contribute to a collaboration.
A concrete objective
You have a clear idea of what you want to achieve together – for example applied R&D, testing, validation, a pilot or another form of innovation collaboration.
For technology-based cases, solutions around TRL 4–7 are generally a good fit.
IAS focuses on four areas:
Bioeconomy, Life Science and Digital Health, Sustainable Cities, and Sustainable Mining and Green Metallurgy.
