Development Projects

Development projects may involve many different types of development work. Both as regards material and product development, but also process and product development, and efficiency measures. Swerea offers a collective resource for supporting development work in small and medium-sized enterprises.

For many years we have been working with smaller companies in fields such as energy and environmental engineering, legal issues, production technology and other technical questions of varying kinds. Swerea has expertise within a large number of materials fields, including metals (manufacture and use), plastics, composites, textiles, ceramics and electronics.

Financing of development projects

Since funding is often an obstacle, we work with regional players and have an all-encompassing knowledge of different funding options, which mean that we are able, rapidly and effectively, to meet changing requirements.
