The Drive Sweden partnership keeps growing and we are happy to announce 12 new members since January. The new partners, that include Koenigsegg, Toyota Sweden and Länsförsäkringar, bring new competences to our ecosystem – adding value to our ongoing initiatives for sustainable mobility solutions for the future.

On the 4th of June Drive Sweden and Viable Cities launched a new collaboration where we investigate how cities and actors within the ecosystem for future mobility can solve the challenges on the road towards more sustainable cities. Together we will push the development and create prerequisites for Swedish cities to take the lead in the race towards climate-neutral cities.

In May we opened Drive Sweden's new open call – Innovations for sustainable, safe and accessible mobility for people and goods. On the 10th of June you will get the chance to know more about that and also find potential partners. On this day, we join forces with other Strategic Innovation Programmes in a co-hosted matchmaking event.

The physical-, energy- and digital infrastructures need to be connected when building the transport system of the future. This means that business models, roles and interpretation of policies and regulations need to change. And it will require collaboration, system perspective and courage when both commercial actors and authorities transform.

Do you have an idea that contributes to the transport policy goals for sustainability and resource efficiency? Does your idea also address how connectivity, shared mobility and automation can help build a more environmentally friendly and efficient transport system? Then do not miss our new open call!

Cities cover 3 percent of the earth, but account for more than 70 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. A large part of the emissions that derive from cities come from the transport of people and goods. Viable Cities' mission is climate-neutral and sustainable cities by the year 2030. Drive Sweden's vision is to create sustainable and safe mobility systems for people and goods that are accessible to all. We are now starting a collaboration to speed up climate actions in cities with joint efforts.

Drive Sweden´s day-to-day work is carried out by the program office, under the direction of the program director. The program office consists of representatives from our partner organizations, working within different parts of the ecosystem of future mobility. Today we have the pleasure to present three new representatives of the program office. Welcome!
