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.

Svampar för produktion av framtidens protein

Svampar för produktion av framtidens protein

Framtidens protein produceras av svampar som omvandlar biobaserade restströmmar från industrin. Svamparna odlas i slutna bioreaktorer med liten påverkan på den yttre miljön.

Alternativa proteinkällor såsom svampar (mycoprotein) kan ha >95% mindre CO2 utsläpp jämfört med nötkött. Vår vision är att framtidens protein produceras av svampar som omvandlar biobaserade restströmmar från industrin. Svamparna odlas i slutna bioreaktorer med liten påverkan på den yttre miljön.

Vi tar fram svampar som växer snabbare på restbiomassa och som kan producera specifika proteiner i större mängder. Dessa s.k. cellfabriker kan användas till allt från foder, föda, material och läkemedel. Våra första cellfabriker producerar proteiner för foder och livsmedelsapplikationer, däribland mjölkproteiner - en ingrediens för veganska mejerivaror!

IVA’s 100 List 2022 - Technology in the Service of Humanity

IVA’s 100 List 2022 highlights a diverse range of research projects from Swedish universities, under the theme Technology in the Service of Humanity. The projects have been selected based on their great potential to create value through commercialization, business and method development, or societal impact. All participating researchers are interested in increased contacts with the business sector for the application and further development of their projects.

Named contact persons for each research project on the 100 List are responsible for the accuracy of the information presented.
