How do we get started?

We ask questions to understand your specific needs—for example, barriers to growth and areas where you want to improve.

This meeting is an opportunity for you to share your goals, while we begin identifying the initiatives that can create the greatest impact for your company.

What is de minimis aid?

De minimis aid is an EU regulation for small amounts of state aid that are considered not to distort competition.

A company may receive up to €300,000 in such aid over a rolling three-year period.

All de minimis aid from national, regional, or local authorities must be aggregated. The limit applies as a gross amount and at group level within Sweden.

If the threshold is exceeded, the excess amount must be repaid, and your aid history must be documented with certificates.
