Vinnova is Sweden’s innovation authority and offers comprehensive funding programs for research and innovation. A Chief of Staff can identify relevant calls for proposals and coordinate applications for Vinnova funding, which can cover a significant portion of the project costs. CoS should build consortia with companies, academia, and the public sector according to the Triple Helix model, which increases the chance of receiving funding. Vinnova prioritizes projects that contribute to sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda, so CoS should ensure that the project has clear sustainability goals. Furthermore, CoS can use Vinnova’s networks and platforms to find partners and disseminate results. It is important to follow Vinnova’s requirements for reporting and results follow-up, as well as to involve relevant internal and external stakeholders. By utilizing Vinnova funding, CoS can accelerate the innovation process, reduce financial risk, and strengthen the organization’s competitiveness both nationally and internationally.
