AI StartUp Network Skåne-Blekinge

The project aims to build a strong, inclusive, and sustainable ecosystem for AI startups in southern Sweden.

We are launching the AI Startup Network Skåne-Blekinge, an initiative designed to strengthen and develop the ecosystem for AI startups in southern Sweden. The project is EU-funded and run by Hetch, Minc, Ideon Science Park, Innovation Skåne and Region Skåne during the period October 2024 – December 2026.

We know that many companies in the region are working on exciting AI-driven ideas and solutions, but it can be challenging to find the right support to grow and establish long-term. That’s what we want to change.

Through the network, as an AI startup you will gain access to:

  • Coaching and growth advisory – tailored support in business development, technology, organization, and financing.
  • Workshops, seminars, and events – learn more about AI development, responsible innovation, and new regulations such as the EU AI Act.
  • A strong AI startup community – knowledge sharing and collaboration with other entrepreneurs facing similar challenges.
  • Testbeds and validation opportunities – support to validate your solutions in practice.
  • Targeted growth support – selected startups may receive financial support for expert services and consultancy.


A key part of the project is that you not only get access to knowledge and support to grow but also become part of a long-term effort to build the region into a leading hub for AI innovation.
