Strategic innovation programs: Collaboration for sustainable innovation
Vinnova, the Swedish Energy Agency and Formas finance seventeen strategic innovation programs.

Within the programs, companies, academia and organizations jointly develop the sustainable products and services of the future. Anyone who can contribute to the development is welcome to apply for funding.
