Om FFI

Since its inception, FFI has financed around 1700 project with a total budget of 17 billion SEK. These project have in various ways played an important role in accelerating the transition to sustainable road transport and strengthening Swedish competitiveness. But we are not satisfied with that! Even though the program has developed and undergone changes in recent years, we cannot stand still. The world around us is constantly changing and so must FFI. At this year's conference, we want to go back to the core of FFI - collaboration. We want to inspire and stimulate national and international collaboration to strengthen Swedish competitiveness and accelerate the transition to sustainable road transport.

Sometimes we photograph or video record our activities. If you don't want to participate in photos or videos, please let us know when you arrive.
