Internationalization
The progress made within the Drive Sweden platform has attracted a great deal of interest around the world. A testament to that is, among other things, that we have partners from about 20 different countries. Through an increased international engagement, we are addressing the increased global interest in Drive Sweden while opening up new opportunities for knowledge-sharing and networking that can fuel the work to solve the challenges of future mobility.
The competence within Drive Sweden's network is vast and our national partners have pushed development at a rapid pace. However, the challenges of future mobility must be solved in a larger context and in collaborations beyond the borders of our country – and an international exchange benefits all parties. The aims for our international work are, for example, that we wish to learn from and exchange experiences with other countries, find new ways of influencing the standards needed for a sustainable development, support our partners on the international arena and contribute to an increase in national R&D funding.
CCAM
Drive Sweden has an active involvement at EU level. We participate in the EU initiative CCAM (Cooperative, connected and automated mobility), which opens doors to scale up projects, strengthen environmental monitoring, drive common Swedish perspectives and find effective ways for financing.
Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley is one of the most important areas in the world when it comes to the development of new mobility solutions. In December 2018, Drive Sweden started a project to place us in this context. Drive Sweden is a member of the Nordic Innovation Hub in Palo Alto.
France
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven and French President Emmanuel Macron signed in November 2017 a strategic partnership between the countries regarding innovation, digital development and sustainable solutions. Drive Sweden is an active party in moving this collaboration forward.
Singapore
Many Swedish actors in the field of mobility have strong bilateral cooperation with partners and customers in Singapore. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) in Singapore and the Swedish Transport Administration have signed a letter of intent to collaborate on issues related to future mobility.
