Interlinked engages in innovation and financing dialogue at UIBW 2026

Interlinked was pleased to see COO Rebecca Stjernberg Bejhed take part in UIBW 2026, an event bringing together companies, investors, financial institutions, and ecosystem partners to discuss innovation, financing, and international growth.

This year’s programme placed particular emphasis on financing pathways for companies at different stages of development, including grants for early-phase ventures, loans and guarantees for growth-stage companies, and strategies for attracting external capital. Discussions also addressed key considerations around intellectual property, investor readiness, and aligning capital strategy with long-term ambitions.

A notable focus was placed on Europe as a priority export market for small and medium-sized companies. Insights shared during the event were reinforced by Business Sweden’s latest Export Managers’ Index, which highlighted strengthened expectations for export demand from Europe — Sweden’s largest export market.

UIBW continues to serve as an important platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, supporting companies navigating scaling, capital acquisition, and international expansion.

Interlinked extends its thanks to the organisers for convening such an engaged and forward-looking community, as well as to the speakers and partners whose contributions made the week possible.
