Already contacted them. But they thought this was more suiting:

Interesting. Would be fantastic if MySensors would get more attention (and funding).

Classic click-bait journalism by IDG through. They make it sound like anyone with a breadboard is basically eligible for a stipend, while it is be targeted at Hacker / Makerspaces. I think there are 10-15 of these places in Sweden right depending on how you count? So if that is the criteria there should be plenty of money to go around. To be completely honest though I'm not sure most of these places are innovative enough to warrant any interest. But I guess that at the rate that governments are spending money anyway, it's great that Makerspaces get a slice of the pie finally. There are surely worse ways to spend taxpayers' money.
