Support System for Entrepreneurs in Jonkoping

Yesterday, I accidentally found some useful information for those who want to start up a business in Jonkoping. It is about support system for entrepreneurs in Jonkoping. The support system here is well-developed with the network of private companies, government bodies, county governmental bodies, trade unions, non-profit organizations and higher education. The creation of JIBS and SMED (Small and Medium Sized Enterprise Development) are results of two projects formed to strengthen the region and its businesses.

The most important actors in the support system in Jonkoping are as follows:
  • Science Park
  • Jonkoping University / JIBS
  • SMED (Small and Medium Sized Enterprise Development)
  • The County Council
  • The County Administrative Board
  • The Federation of Private Enterprises
  • NUTEK – Swedish Business Development Agency
  • IUC – Industrial Development Center
