announcement rural enterprises 

The support can, for example, be used to increase competence in companies, develop existing products/services, diversify companies, create new or develop existing collaborations/company networks or increase service in rural areas.

This can be done through, for example, courses/training, study visits, meetings/workshops, development of prototypes, implementation of tests or consultancy work in the form of, among other things, surveys, analyses or strategy work.

The support may not be used for primary production or regular operations – it must be used for new initiatives focused on social, economic and/or ecological sustainability.

The project must be implemented in collaboration with at least two other actors. The benefits accrue primarily to the project-owning companies and partners, but it must also have some form of positive effect for one or more local rural areas in the sense of the producer. 

• A company can be granted between 40 and 70% of budgeted costs in a project – up to a maximum support amount of 300,000 SEK.

NOTE! There is currently 600,000 SEK left to apply for within Rural Enterprises (two grants of a maximum of 300,000 SEK).
