ORIGINAL CREATION RECEIVES ANOTHER MILLION FROM PRESTIGIOUS INNOVATION PROGRAM SUPPORTED BY SWEDISH INDUSTRY GIANTS - SOON LAUNCHING A FUNDRAISING ROUND ✨🚀💥 Text from Uminova Innovation: “The incubator company Original Creation AB, based in Umeå, a deep tech company specializing in traceability systems for manufacturing companies, has secured continued funding from the Advanced Digitalization innovation and research program, which is backed by ABB, Ericsson, Saab, Teknikföretagen, and Vinnova. The program aims to drive future advanced, sustainable digital solutions to enhance the competitiveness of Swedish industry, ensuring Sweden retains its leadership in both research and development of next-generation digital solutions. Between 2023 and 2027, the program will have a total budget of approximately SEK 4.5 billion. – “We are extremely proud and grateful. This allows us to quickly move forward with the validation of both the technical and commercial aspects of our platform,” says Linnea Brännström, CEO and founder. Original Creation is developing a solution that thousands of manufacturing companies across the EU may soon need. In 2024, the EU regulation ESPR is expected to be passed. With it, the EU aims to make sustainable products the norm in the EU’s internal market and reduce the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycles. The regulation will also introduce requirements for so-called digital product passports. These passports will provide information about the product’s actual origin, complete material content, and carbon footprint, and will apply to almost all products manufactured, sold, and used in Europe. Original Creation’s solution is a platform for reliable traceability, from extraction to recycling. Blockchain technology is part of the solution. – “The daily operational processes in the various industries that will be subject to the regulation differ significantly. Original Creation’s platform is designed to meet the needs of all industries,” says Linnea. Original Creation is receiving SEK 1 million from the program to test and evaluate the technical solution’s capacity in real-world environments. This will be done through pilot projects where product owners can test the platform and provide input on functionality and user-friendliness. The company is interested in connecting with businesses that want to start their traceability journey. This fall, Original Creation will open its first fundraising round, and preparations are in full swing. – “We have excellent guidance from Uminova Innovation in preparing solid documentation for the fundraising round,” says Linnea.” Full story in Swedish👇

EIC Accelerator 2024 Marct cut off results were announced! Congrats to all 68 companies, all teams, consultants and evaluators. Germany and France are the pioneers again! Health, Energy, Quantum tech., Basic Sciences, Sensor tech. and Space tech. are the main topics as a brief, you can read more via the link at the end of my post. Most of them are supported for "Blended Finance", only 2 for "Grant Only" and 1 for "Equity Only" options... I am just curious about a possible revision-new development in EIC Accelerator....It is now an investment tool, more than a grant tool for compaines. Maybe, there can be some thematic divisions under several topics like health, ICT, Quantum etc....I know it is a general deep tech opportunity covering all hovewer for the last several years, health/quantum topics and companies were supported more than others. I totally agree(covid-innovation and request for high tech) but....Other ICT-Basic Sciences still needs more attention especially regarding to climate change solutions. I know about the priorities etc. but we all see the results...Maybe, EIC can manage it by seperating the topics and identified "treshold numbers" for each topic...(i.e. for space area there can be support for 5 compaines, 10 for health and quantum etc.) and each apply under related topic/division...maybe then we can get a higher number of supported companies in other vital areas, too. This is a personal brain storming, if you know more on administration part and further strategies in EIC, I will love to hear more, please share under this post.. https://lnkd.in/dQEi34zj #eicaccelerator #EUeic #quantum #spacetechnology #health #sensor #horizoneurope

CEO Diaries - Innovation - Keep It Simple 🚨🚨 Contrary to the popular belief that innovation requires investments , infrastructure and specially trained innovators - most innovations have been “accidentally” arrived at by people trying to find a solution to their problems. Innovation is driven by - a niggling unease with current state of affairs. - creative ways to unlock a problem, - ability to take a plunge in the “ uncertain “ - a peep into tomorrow. This , is a by product of our “ daily lives” and not made possible through control group experiments in labs :) KEEP IT SIMPLE iPod : AirPod : Uber : mobile. #innovationinaction #lifehacks #incubator
