Important results from the project

The project achieved the goals and deepened the understanding of how civil and military innovation environments can work together. Through workshops and interviews, barriers such as limited mutual knowledge and cultural differences were identified. New networks were created, which can strengthen the power of innovation, promote dual-use technologies and, in the long term, contribute to a more sustainable and competitive Swedish innovation environment.

Expected long term effects

In the longer term, the project is expected to lead to a more efficient and cohesive innovation environment where civil and military actors can more easily collaborate and use each other´s resources. It can speed up the development of dual-use technologies, strengthen Swedish technical competitiveness and contribute to increased defense capabilities. Overall, the conditions are created for faster innovation, sustainable growth and a more robust national security ecosystem.

Approach and implementation

The project was carried out through a combination of interviews, workshops and analysis of relevant actors within both civilian and military environments. The approach focused on identifying current obstacles and needs, deepening the understanding of how innovation can be strengthened and finding new models for collaboration. Through continuous dialogue, regular reconciliations and active network building, a structure was created that laid the foundation for long-term cooperation.
