The aim is to enable the further development of a new applicator concept for silicone stents that addresses the clinical limitations of current technology. The project will improve the conditions for safer and more reliable treatment of patients with severe airway stenosis, whilst laying the foundations for intellectual property protection and future commercialisation.

I see myself as a creative person, and my passion has always been to develop things and generate new insights. I have also had a keen interest in different types of shoes, and my wife thinks I have too many pairs. Combine these traits with my medical expertise, and you have the foundation for this innovation. What drives me now is that I see we can create value with VPECS and that we have the chance to build a strong Lund-based company around the idea.

The aim is to develop and test a new entrepreneurial model in which humanities skills are used for idea development and problem-solving in collaboration with the business sector and societal stakeholders. The project aims to strengthen students’ capacity for innovation, create cross-disciplinary collaborations and validate a structure that can serve as a long-term platform for innovation in humanities skills.

Plant disease management is often reactive because diagnosis is slow, forcing growers to spray preventively. This project aims to enable rapid, on-site pathogen detection so actions can be timely and targeted, reducing unnecessary chemical inputs and yield losses across Skåne’s crop systems. The immediate usefulness is a validated prototype and field data that de-risk a larger scale-up and funding pathway.

We aim to bridge the gap between academic research and commercial application by validating the need for real-time insect monitoring in Skåne’s agricultural and protected sectors, with global scaling potential. Insects underpin ecosystem health and food security, yet current methods are slow and costly. Our ESL lidars will establish habitat baselines, detect declines and pest outbreaks, and support conservation, stakeholders, and a future startup.

The goal is to be able to develop and complete a software program that reduces the time spent per second-hand product handled by the company. The goal is for Minikit to be able to reduce the time expenditure by 30% and be able to offer this software to other (usually) small start-up companies in the second-hand trade, which can then become profitable more quickly.

Cold and dry AB is a newly started company whose business concept consists of offering a special dehumidifier to all the thousands of grocery stores, municipal and private commercial kitchens and others who struggle and are forced to live with all the moisture-related problems they have in small freezer rooms. With our dehumidifier, these problems can be completely eliminated or greatly reduced while at the same time saving energy.

The project, We are Entrepreneurs is mainly about creating an interest in young people and young adults in entrepreneurship and a greater insight into what it is like to create your own brand, age 17 – 24 years. We offer a platform, training, a network and income-generating activities for a greater insight into one’s own obligations and rights in society for a step closer to the individual’s goals. We create entrepreneurs where young people themselves are at the helm and we the expertise. We will also tend young people’s skills in terms of computer skills and creativity.

To improve the work environment for all dental staff in Sweden and hopefully worldwide, as there are currently no good protective glasses for UV and blue light in the profession. According to studies, we run a high risk of developing several different chronic eye diseases if we do not use proper protective glasses.

The goal of Techship is to create role models and build bridges between young people in different neighbouhoods and the business world. What we add in 2023 is an impact focus. We will invest in that young people will solve our global sustainability challenges where these are generated in knowledge-intensive startups. This is done through the same methodology that Techship has today. In addition, we want to attract young talent to Skåne. The goal will then be for Techship to have an impact focus that reaches out nationally but takes place regionally in Helsingborg.

The goal is to create a long-term sustainable agricultural system that provides both economic stability and ecological benefits. LPUF will become a place for education and research, attracting trainees and offering practical training in permaculture and agroecology. We will also contribute to the city’s vision of a self-sufficient and environmentally conscious food system.

We want to contribute to a more sustainable textile consumption by making it easier for consumers and brands to repair and reuse textiles. Thus, contributing to goal 12 in the global sustainability goals. Further we also want to contribute to goal 10, reducing inequality by offering new jobs in Sweden, especially to skilled tailors who have immigrated to Sweden and who in many cases have difficulty entering the labour market. Finally, we want to build a good service / company that can create growth.

We believe in a shift towards sustainable plant-based emulsion systems and see a gap in the market for our patented solution. We want to commercialize our product, a sustainable encapsulation system, initially targeting omega-3 and iron supplementation. We apply for funding to develop our idea into a prototype with long shelf-life and proven functionality. This is needed to continue our work towards attractive products on the market and will be crucial for future funding.

The purpose of the prototype is to identify, categorise and systematise the knowledge that exists among parents of children with functional variations (LSS) and concretise these knowledge assets in a new digital format. Adapted Support has developed a methodology that involves initially carrying out a needs analysis of the whole family’s situation. This is the part to be developed in the first prototype. The prototype will result in a digital model that can be applied on a larger scale.

We want to make the customer more involved in their choice of clothing. Partly to highlight the environmental impact and that the customer can shop more sustainably through well-thought-out choices. We want to further develop our business according to the EU’s upcoming legislation and be pioneers in circular business models.

My goal is to develop sustainable biomaterials by bringing together experts from different fields and integrating the latest technology to solve real-world problems. To drive commercialisation, I will build and expand networks with industrial practitioners and strengthen my patent application through verification testing and industry feedback.

The purpose of the project initially is to help parents to a stable meal situation, right from the start. If you as a parent can leave it to the child to decide how much and in what way the child eats, you can also be sure that the child in most cases gets enough to grow and develop in a healthy way. With knowledge and joy, the whole family will thrive!

By starting Botildenborg Social Innovation Living Lab, we can increase knowledge about social entrepreneurship, measure impact and evaluate social initiatives. The knowledge will form the basis for the development of social entrepreneurship, the opportunity to build the business and contribute to increased knowledge. In October 2024, the Urban Food and Farming conference will be held to focus on social entrepreneurship and the collaboration between Botildenborg and the universities.

With the microfluidic chip, we want to enable early detection and diagnosis of plant pathogens to enable precision spraying. Detection is made possible before a disease appears, which saves the harvest while allowing the drastic reduction of the use of chemical spraying. We will establish and expand networks with farmers and experts for prototype testing and future development of both product and service. We will verify the business model and technical suitability.

The goal is to develop a minimally invasive technique that, using our malleable, highly conductive electro-material, both removes tumours and trains the immune system in real time. By injecting the hydrogel in situ, we can fight cancer more effectively and gently for the patient. The aim of this specific grant is to protect the rights of the unique material.
