How it works

Chalmers Innovation is an idea-investor and comapany-incubator which invests in and supports technologically based business concepts and growth ventures sprung up from universities, individuals and buisness branches. The developement process is constituted by three steps: pre-incubation, incubation and growth-generator.

Chalmers Innovation invests up to 300,000 SEK in unique buisness concepts parallel to a strat-up of buisness development in the pre-incubator. In a second step, incubation,  the opportunity to invest yet another 300,000 SEK is available. Together with the founders of the new company and other financiers the developement of a sustainable growth venture is initiated. Chalmers Innovation provides expertise in buisness development.
