Impact Innovation mobilizes Sweden's innovative power
Together with public actors, business, academia and civil society, Impact Innovation is putting Sweden's collective innovation power into motion. The result is not only new solutions but also mobilization for groundbreaking innovation at a societal level. Europe is interested in the development.

An expert from the OECD Mission Lab discuss the impact of mission‑driven initiatives, and a leading academic voice offers perspectives on why societal transitions are both necessary and difficult, and how they can be made real in practice.
