Agenda
- How can cutting-edge technology from civilian companies be used to solve defense-related challenges?
- How can we in Sweden strengthen support for civil-military/dual use innovation, and at the same time create leading companies in strategic technology areas?
- What experiences are there from the war in Ukraine?
- And how can the investments made in defense innovation be used to build a resilient society?
The civil-military innovation program is a joint mission for Vinnova and the Swedish Armed Forces. It aims to strengthen Sweden's defense capability by promoting cooperation between the defense sector and civilian actors with groundbreaking technology that can have military applications. The program started in 2024 and several new initiatives are planned for 2025.
