SIQ has been granted approximately SEK 1.5 million by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth for the development of a new Swedish management model for micro-enterprises - a rural initiative for increased competitiveness in Sweden's business community through digitalization.
The research and development project aims to strengthen Sweden's competitiveness by developing and adapting SIQ management model for micro-enterprises. Through an adapted Swedish management model, the project aims to promote the opportunities of digitalization and contribute to digital transformation in rural businesses.
The project will be carried out in collaboration with several micro-enterprises, Tillväxtverket and Almi Företagspartner. The focus is set on the development of new methods and working methods that provide support for microenterprises to manage a high rate of change and at the same time provide conditions for growth through new innovations.
The project is co-financed by SIQ Intressentförening.
- To lead for success in a turbulent world, management models also need to evolve with the times. We are therefore very happy and proud of the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth's confidence and at the same time humbled by the task of developing a new Swedish management model for microenterprises, comments Mats Deleryd, CEO of SIQ. "We look forward to a deeper collaboration and co-production with the microenterprises, Tillväxtverket and Almi Företagspartner.
SIQ's research director Anders Fundin, who is also a professor at Mälardalen University, is responsible for the project.
