Participate in the meeting
Accelerate Startup Partnership (ASP) is an FFI initiative that aims to accelerate and gather experience from collaboration between innovative small and medium-sized companies and major vehicle manufacturers in Sweden. ASP was started in 2020 and has since established processes for both collaboration, knowledge dissemination, scouting and match-making.
Parties to ASP are Scania, AB Volvo, Volvo Car Group, Combient Foundry, MobilityXlab, FKG, Gothenburg School of Economics. The automotive industry sees cooperation with innovative start-ups as an important funding to meet the global technological transition the automotive industry is facing.
