Are you interested in innovation? Do you have an idea that you’d like to bring to life? Get support from the Storm Innovation Hub and Drivhuset Malmö. You can also receive guidance from advisors at Mau Innovation. Grants are available to help students test out their ideas.

Do you have an idea you want to develop?

At Malmö University, you can get support for concrete processes in areas such as:

  • Idea development
  • Financing and grants
  • Partnerships
  • Prototyping
  • How to protect your idea
Students are studying colour and perspective.

Storm is Malmö University’s innovation hub. As a student, Storm is here for you, providing a space where you can explore and try new things, whether as part of your studies or through activities outside your course.

Malmö University collaborates with Drivhuset Malmö on matters relating to student entrepreneurship. They provide free advice and support to help you develop your idea or get your project off the ground.

Leapfrogs is a 40,000 SEK grant that enables students at Malmö University to develop an idea for the benefit of society. The grant enables you to work full-time on your idea and receive coaching in idea development.

Inspired by traditional hackathons, the Stormathon competition involves creating new ideas and solutions alongside others in a short space of time. All teams are working on the same project, with the support of innovation coaches.

FutureMakers welcomes students to share their ideas for services, products, social innovations, or anything else they can think of. It doesn't matter how developed your idea is. What matters most is your vision and your ability to present it convincingly.

How to protect your idea?

What is a patent, and how do you obtain one? What do all the symbols mean? There are many questions surrounding intellectual property, protection and rights. Some ideas should be kept secret, while others can be shared to help develop and refine them.
