Nordic public AI funding calls open now

SWEDEN BUYS AI COMPETENCE, NOT JUST CODE Vinnova runs three live calls that name AI as a core subject. None is a procurement of finished systems. All fund competence, exchange, or next-stage development. INDIVIDUAL MOBILITY – SWEDEN TO USA Vinnova, 2026-01382. Deadline 2 September 2026. The call sits inside the Advanced digitalisation programme. It funds individual mobility between Sweden and the USA to strengthen strategic competence in AI, connectivity, and cybersecurity. The notice states that the exchange can involve sending a Swedish employee to work in the USA or inviting an American expert to Sweden. IPCEI AI AND IPCEI AST – NEXT STEPS FOR ASSOCIATED PARTNERS Vinnova, 9f96c033-6d82-4fd1-2080-08dec2f586a2. Deadline 1 October 2026. This call targets organisations that have previously participated as associated partners in matchmaking for IPCEI AI or IPCEI AST. It funds projects that now want to take the next step within those initiatives. INNOVATIVE HEALTH INITIATIVE – CALL 13 Vinnova, IHI Joint Undertaking. Deadline 8 October 2026. The call opens in July 2026. It is a two-stage process for projects that contribute to new innovative health solutions. Topic 2 explicitly names AI: “An AI Foundation Toxicology Model and Framework to Support Waiving a Second Species in Drug Safety Studies.” The other two topics do not mention AI but require expertise in health data. WHAT CHANGED The record shows no new calls since the last brief. The deadlines are unchanged. The IHI call 13 draft topic list was already published in April 2026; the network holds no update to that list. WHO CAN BID Individual mobility call: Swedish organisations with an ongoing project inside the Advanced digitalisation programme. IPCEI call: organisations that have previously participated as associated partners in IPCEI AI or IPCEI AST matchmaking. IHI call: consortia that include at least one Swedish partner eligible for Vinnova funding. Each notice states its own eligibility rules; the record does not carry additional criteria. The record is thin. No other Nordic authority appears in the live AI-related notices on the network’s board as of 17 August 2026.
