Associations and companies receive their projects co-financed from the EU Rural Development Fund through Leader Bergslagen

Norberg is one of the ten municipalities that make up Leader Bergslagen's membership base. Every krona Norberg pays in as co-financing is exchanged for up to three kronor. In this way, Norberg, together with the other localities, can bring EU funds back to their municipalities.

Leader Bergslagen board distributed SEK 4.2 million to 12 projects during the first project year. In addition, SEK 1.2 million was allocated to the checks. In total, the association has a budget of 41 million to distribute during the period 2023-2027.

Do you also want to have your project idea prioritized?

Then the first step is to test your idea to see if it fits the Leader template. Contact the office who tests the idea with the board. Remember that cooperation and innovative is crucial for a project to be just that leader-project.

If the idea follows the Leader method, you should book a project workshop with the office. Then you apply for funding via the Swedish Board of Agriculture's e-service. The LAG board decides on prioritization using basic conditions and selection criteria which are presented on the website.

EU flag

Make it visible that it is a Leader project. If the project receives money from the EU, it is important to use the logo, and to do it correctly.
