Although HMS products are primarily sold internationally, we are proud of our strong local roots here in Halmstad – and we are now opening up the opportunity for local sponsorship 2026. Until May 31st, we accept applications from non-profit organizations that make a difference in our local community.
The sponsorship program is part of our commitment to social responsibility and is guided by our values: Heart, Mind & Soul (hey, that makes for a pretty good acronym 😊).
We prioritize initiatives that create long-term value for children, young people, and the local community.
Associations and projects should benefit the local community, be inclusive and preferably promote learning, development, and long-term engagement.
Applying is easy – simply complete our digital application form.
In the application, we ask you to briefly describe:
• Your association or organization
• The activity or project
• How it aligns with HMS company values
• How the sponsorship funds would be used
HMS does not require extensive sponsorship commitments. We would rather see your energy focused on what truly matters – your activities, young people, and the local community.
The only thing we ask is that you share how the sponsorship has been used on social media – for example on Instagram or Facebook, preferably with a photo from your activities and by tagging HMS.
The winners of the two largest grants will be invited to HMS for a short prize ceremony.
All applications are evaluated based on community benefit, youth focus, technology/educational value, and how well they reflect our Heart, Mind & Soul values.
We will award nine (9) grants:
1 × SEK 30,000 1 × SEK 20,000 3 × SEK 10,000 4 x SEK 5,000
Decisions will be made by the HMS Sponsorship Group in June 2026
The receiving organization must share how the funds were used on its social media channels during 2026.
You need an organization bank account. We cannot pay to a personal account.
HMS stands for Hardware Meets Software™. By enabling industrial equipment (hardware) to communicate and share information with software and systems, our customers increase productivity and sustainability.
HMS Networks was founded in 1988 in Halmstad, Sweden where you still find our head office. Today, millions of industrial devices all over the world use HMS products to get connected.
