In the seminar, we explore radical innovation as a way to move from need to action to solve the major societal challenges of our time. Using examples from the collaboration between Sweden and Germany on anti-drone technology, we discuss how clear demand, pace and collaboration in Europe can contribute to innovation that makes a real difference and strengthens both security and competitiveness.
