The overall goal of the project is to increase FoI investments in the region’s SMEs (SMF) in the Life Science Area of Advance. The project consists of four parts: a catalyst function to increase FOI investments in SMEs, the creation of meeting places that stimulate cross-industry collaborations, the introduction of a governance and development model in the SME (SWElife model) and the development of a communication platform at Sahlgrenska Science Park addressing SMF’s FOI needs. The project is a collaborative project and collaboration with Business Region Gothenburg mainly concerns the catalyst function and the cross-industry initiatives. The focus of the project is on existing companies that already have one or more services close to or on the market.
