Tillväxtverket — Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth

Connects Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth via regional growth programmes, EU funds, and industry transition support.

Tillväxtverket, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth, is Sweden's national business-growth and regional-development agency under the Ministry of Climate and Enterprise. It works across the country from nine offices with about 500 employees, and its remit is to strengthen competitiveness, support municipalities and regions, and back sustainable growth. The agency also serves as a central delivery body for Swedish and European funding streams.

Its funding mix includes the European Regional Development Fund, the Just Transition Fund, Interreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak, regional investment aid, regional transport aid, and an audiovisual works production incentive. The agency manages nine ERDF operational programmes for 2021-2027 and the Just Transition Fund for 2021-2030 in Norrbotten, Västerbotten, and Gotland. The available routes span grants and a rebate-style incentive, with the audiovisual route structured as a production incentive rather than a conventional grant.

Applicants fit best when the project is tied to Swedish geography and aligned with a named programme window. The agency uses the Min ansökan application system, and the strongest cases are those that connect clearly to regional growth, industrial transition, transport cost support, or production and competitiveness outcomes.
