Innovation for sustainable growth

Innovation support for small and medium sized enterprises A big challenge for many companies is a structured

innovation process and ensuring multidisciplinary competence. Through RISE SME, small and medium sized enterprises may access customized support. We help companies in various developmental stages with support for their needs, ideas or problems. We survey regional and national financing opportunities within RISE competence areas.

Through Enterprise Europe Network we help companies expand their technique and innovations in Europe. Via EUSME-support 2020, companies may get counselling for EU financing opportunities.

VINNOVA financed project through the UDI program. Total budget: 30 MSEK, Vinnova 40% and the consortium partners 60%. The consortium consists of drinking water producers, industry and academia.

Concepts and services are developed to create unique water qualitydata in real-time for online early-warning systems including crudewater, drinking water and industrial process water.

Sensors developed in the project; electronic nose and tongue, flowcytometry, UVF (ultraviolet fluorescence), SCGD (microplasmatechnique) and impedance spectroscopy. Services include innovative cloudbased IT-solutions and implementation of a dose model usingmultivariat analysis.

Image processing

Sensora – Flow cytometry

• Acreo has developed a video-based flow cytometer for detection of E.Coli as an early indicator for contamination of crude water

• Specific labelling of E.Coli with fluorescent antibodies• The system was designed to be cheaper, faster and simpler than traditional flow cytometry

Challenge60 000 Swedes are diagnosed with Epilepsy and 20 000 suffer from Parkinson. This group ofchronic patients need regular care and treatment.
