176 EU million for northern Sweden
"There are many important projects that have now been granted support. The EU funds that we have to distribute through the Structural Funds are absolutely invaluable for the development of Västerbotten and Norrbotten" says Rickard Carstedt, regional councillor (S) in Västerbotten and chairman of the Upper Norrland Structural Funds Partnership.
Some examples of projects that have received funding:
Luleå University of Technology has received SEK 13.3 to develop methods that can increase cybersecurity in companies and organisations.
Piteå Science Park has received SEK 3.6 million to increase collaboration and innovation in the field of fibre composites.
