The Swedish regional venture capital fund endeavour formally began in 2009. At the time, conditions did not permit full operations. Through the funds’ own work and with constructive support from “the on-going evaluators” (Ramböll) and the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket), the efforts have increasingly taken shape.

Knowledge and understanding of the regulations have grown, structures have been developed and the rate of investment has gathered speed.
