The programme, funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, is designed to strengthen companies’ investment readiness and connect them with relevant international investors. Access to capital is critical for scaling energy and climate innovations. Through tailored coaching, strategic investor preparation and curated introductions, the Investment Accelerator Programme supports selected companies in preparing for international fundraising processes and long‑term growth.
Following a competitive process with 22 applicant companies, eight participants were selected based on their technological innovation, commercial potential and relevance to the energy system. The programme kicks off in April 2026 and will run through structured investment‑readiness activities, including one‑to‑one coaching and investor engagement.
– This is the fourth batch of companies we are supporting in matching with international investors. We can already now start to see the results. The first two batches with 15 companies have together raised close to 2 billion SEK since joining the accelerator. These are extraordinary results for the companies, and we are very proud to play a role in supporting them on their journey to international capital, says Sara Persson, Business Developer at the Swedish Energy Agency.
