It is with great joy we announce that Leader Bergslagen is one of 40 prioritized areas in LEADER 2023-2027! You can see the preliminary map of Sweden's leader areas in the image to the right. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to the content of the strategy.

When the Swedish Board of Agriculture allocated its budget for the program period, we received what we had wished for; 41 million. The funding is 67% from EU funds and 33% comes from our member municipalities. If you are curious about what the different leader areas were granted, take a look at: Distribution of funds to LAG within Leader 2023-2027.
