Business Development and Commercialisation

The objective of the Business Development and Commercialisation department is to create products and services from the research and development that the Swedish Energy Agency supports, but also from individual innovators and spin-offs from existing companies. In order for new and efficient energy technology to be used in society, it must be competitive, i.e. able to be offered at the right price and in the right “packaging”.

We are working to create conditions for a natural ecosystem surrounding companies in growth. The support offered by the Swedish Energy Agency will help develop the areas where the companies will be able to grow. We inform investors about newly-started energy technology companies and about the
potential to invest in them.

The Swedish Energy Agency supports the ripening of ideas that can be commercialised, in order to drive on the work with developing the Swedish energy system. We utilise the creativity of researchers, innovators and companies in order to then support and steer the process that leads to ideas becoming reality. The
support can be summed up in three points: Capital, Knowledge and Contact network.

Capital, in that we offer conditional loans. They are given to companies that we think have a good business concept and that fulfil a series of criteria in the form of technical uniqueness, high energy-relevance and as well as a strong team behind the concept.

Knowledge, in that we understand the energy industry as well as the innovation system. We are experts in energyrelated business development, which can be a decisive factor for the development of new CleanTech companies.

We haven a large national and international contact network, including trade organisations, other players within the innovation system, existing companies in the field of energy and private companies that can invest in your idea.
