CONNECT Väst is a non-profit organization and one of six regional CONNECT organizations in Sweden. CONNECT links entrepreneurs with the financial, technical and business development resources needed to create and develop high-growth companies.

On a yearly basis, over 300 companies in Sweden are assisted in CONNECT’s two programs, the Springboard and the BusinessAccelerator, where a suite of services is customized to fit a company’s specific needs to succeed with commercialization and prepare them to meet investors and industrial partners.

CONNECT Väst is financed by approximately 100 partners from the local business community, Universities and other regional academy institutions and the regional development secretariats of Västra Götaland. The overall goal is to create a growing business region with more sustainable companies and more jobs.
