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.

Framtidens trädgård is a meeting place where Vinnova, together with several partners, arranges a large number of talks and activities. Vinnova's program include three major themes: future innovation, security and resilience, and groundbreaking, radical technology.

– This year we raise questions about how we can increase risk appetite and the pace of radical innovations, strengthen security through civil-military innovation, put Sweden at the forefront of technology, and how we can prepare for different possible futures, says Darja Isaksson.
