An independent academy that builds bridges between science, business and politics

The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) is an independent academy with a mission “...to promote engineering and economic sciences and the advancement of business and industry for the benefit of society.” We bring together leading engineers, economists, researchers, entrepreneurs and leaders in business and the public sector, who contribute generously to IVA’s operations through their intellectual capital and their engagement.

A meeting place for Sweden's future

IVA believes in humanity’s capacity to contribute positively to society through the engineering and economic sciences. We run a number of projects and programmes, produce reports, knowledge bases and policy proposals, and organise open seminars and meetings nationwide. We also recognise and encourage the efforts of others by awarding distinctions and grants.

Visualization

One of the core pillars of the work within the vision project Swedish Futures is to develop a data infrastructure that enables the visualization of Sweden's strengths and weaknesses in terms of technology and innovation based on available data sources.

Swedish Futures

By building the capability and infrastructure to visualise the Swedish technology and innovation system, we create a clear foundation for policy discussions in which technology and innovation are key components. Would you like to know more, or contribute to this work? Contact me!

The ability to visualise data enables the development of a highly sought‑after, evidence‑based communication about Sweden as a nation of innovation, not least in an international comparison

To ensure high technical quality, efficiency and long-term maintenance, IVA intends during 2026 to establish strategic partnerships with one or more external actors with proven experience in data platforms, API integrations and interactive visualisation solutions.

In addition to visualizations based on quantitative data, IVA will also tap its fellows and business contacts to make qualified predictions about the future through the use of artificial intelligence.
