ElektroLink

Join us for Silicon Saxony Day in Germany!

About the project

The ElektroLink project aims to strengthen small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the electronics sector by promoting international partnerships for innovation and creating valuable business opportunities.

By increasing their understanding of Europe’s innovation landscape, we foster a collaborative environment where Swedish SMEs can connect, share ideas, and collaborate with other electronics companies across Europe. Supporting SMEs is crucial for driving innovation, economic growth, and technological sovereignty within the EU.

Within the project, 35 SMEs will have the opportunity to establish themselves in international markets. This initiative is designed for companies in the electronics industry interested in exploring new business opportunities and innovation collaborations. A key component of the project is the so-called “Internationalization Package,” which includes financial support, advisory services, guidance on EU funding opportunities, strategic development assistance, and reduced entry fees for industry fairs. The first trip will be to Silicon Saxony Day in Dresden, Germany.

The project is led by OpenTech, with Bron Innovation as a project partner alongside Linköping Science Park – IoT World.
