Impact Innovation: Net Zero Industry
Supports Consortium innovation development grants for net zero manufacturing, co funded by Energimyndigheten, Vinnova, and Formas.
Impact Innovation: Net Zero Industry sits under the Swedish Energy Agency within the wider Impact Innovation programme and is co-managed with Vinnova and Formas. It targets innovations that can cut greenhouse-gas emissions in manufacturing, so the emphasis is on industrial systems and production pathways rather than generic clean-tech research. The 2026 call has an 80 MSEK budget. Consortia must include at least three partners, with at least one Swedish discrete manufacturing company and at least one research organisation. The call is open in Sweden, the deadline is 2026-06-17, and project timing varies by track: feasibility projects may run up to 18 months, doctoral projects up to four years, and other projects up to three years, with start dates from 2026-11-01. Applicants need a partnership that can cover both industrial implementation and research depth. The program suits collaborative teams that can connect a manufacturing problem to measurable emissions reduction, with enough organizational breadth to deliver results across company and research settings rather than in a single lab or site.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
