The aim of the Techarena project is to develop a unique, locally adapted tech arena where industry and higher education institutes collaborate in the fields of innovation, research and education.

By establishing a local hub for tech, the project seeks to enhance the research and innovation capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises in West Sweden. It also aims to encourage lifelong learning among participating stakeholders.

Funding

The Techarena project is funded with support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the Region Västra Götaland, the Sjuhärad municipal association, and Borås Business Community.

The project has created the central tech hub Tech Borås

In collaboration with the regional business sector, the project has established a locally adapted tech arena operating under the name Tech Borås. Tech Borås is therefore part of the Techarena project’s delivery.

Strategic funding from the Vice-Chancellor is used for the project.
