An unpredictable geopolitical environment is testing international collaborations. How should Sweden navigate to lead the way as an innovative country, in Europe and internationally, accelerate the transition, strengthen its competitiveness, and become resilient and secure?

Unsettled times make it difficult to have an open innovation climate. What choices can Sweden make moving forward to build strong and long-term international collaborations? What should we prioritize to stay one step ahead? How can we collaborate across borders to accelerate the transition – promoting sustainable growth and competitiveness through groundbreaking innovation?

The seminar is part of Impact Innovations Day in Almedalen. A panel of experts in international collaborations and the Net Zero Industry and SustainGov programs will participate.
