Published: 3 June 2026

Under Almedalsveckan June 22 to 26 in Visby, Vinnova brings together academia, companies, the public sector and international actors for discussions. The focus is on how innovation can contribute to meeting large, complex societal challenges. We arrange seminars, workshops and reconnaissance, and also participate in a variety of activities at other organisations.

– We at Vinnova will be on site in Framtidens trädgård to talk about innovation that makes a difference. Innovation that makes Sweden globally competitive through solutions for a safe, sustainable and resilient society, says Darja Isaksson, director general at Vinnova.
