KTH Innovation can help you with several funding options, from grants to investment. Our support and funding options are available for teams funded by students or researchers at KTH.
KTH Innovation manages the Vinnova funding program VFT-1 for KTH teams in need of early-stage funding.
In the program, you can apply for funding of up to 300 000 SEK. The funding can for example be used to bring in a consultant to help with market research, or design a prototype.
We handle applications every other week.
