Why a Swedish quantum agenda?

A race is under way in quantum technology, a field of research and innovation that is predicted to revolutionise the future development of computers, secure communications and a more efficient energy supply. Several Swedish research bodies have now drawn up an agenda setting out how Sweden can secure its place on the technological train. Per Delsing has been involved in this work.

Research utilisation and collaboration are part of Luleå University of Technology’s DNA. That’s why IVA’s Research2Business project fits the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Birgitta Bergvall-Kåreborn, like a glove.

Conditions for new nuclear power

The government wants to invest heavily in new nuclear power in order to achieve the climate goals and transition to a fossil-free society. But what are the conditions for building new reactors in Sweden in the near future? What is technically possible and what will it take to convince people to invest? More facts and less opinion are needed here to make wise decisions, says Fellow of IVA and former CEO of Vattenfall Lars G Josefsson.

How are Swedish companies coping with record inflation and war?

The world is in a turbulent economic situation. In Sweden, inflation is at its highest in over 30 years. Central banks are raising their interest rates, while war and conflicts are interrupting the supply of critical input goods for industry. We are in a situation that may affect Swedish companies in many ways for a long time to come, says Annika Winsth, Chief Economist at Nordea and Fellow of IVA.

Resource Effectiveness – Circular Economy. Subproject: Mobility

Resource use is an existential issue that impacts the climate and biodiversity. We therefore need to avoid unnecessary transport, coordinate necessary transport and increase capacity utilisation and utilisation rates to achieve a climate efficient and resource-effective society. Data sharing is of key importance.

The right strategy at universities yields more sustainability entrepreneurs

How do we create the right conditions to stimulate entrepreneurship with an emphasis on sustainability in university-adjacent environments? IVA’s Entrepreneurship Academy has sought to answer this question by interviewing researchers, educators and other key individuals at six Swedish universities. Here you can read the results, which are part of a broader, Nordic-Baltic study presented in June 2022.

Opportunities with Sweden’s EU presidency in 2023

10 recommendations to the Swedish Government. IVA will endeavour to ensure that Sweden’s presidency promotes a forward-looking and engaging debate about how Sweden can position itself earlier and more prominently in EU contexts.
