How a Drive Sweden project is created

Innovation projects with broad partnerships are fundamental to Drive Sweden. In our projects actors from business, public sector, universities and research institutes jointly pave the way for ideas that makes a difference. Vinnova, the Swedish Energy Agency and Formas offer a 50 percent co-funding of the projects, which enables organizations to experiment and test new ideas without having to generate a profit. Projects are granted either through open calls or through our process for individual projects. Applications are assessed against the program's vision, our program logic and innovation agenda.

Open call 2024 – Innovations for a sustainable, digitized and automated transport system for people and goods

The aim of the open call is to develop and test new solutions within shared, connected and automated mobility that touch on system barriers or opportunities. What we want to achieve is more efficient, traffic-safe and accessible road transport systems with the help of digital technology. The open call closes on 4 March 2025 at 2PM.

Do you have a project idea?

We strive for projects in broad cooperation where the results have good opportunities to be implemented. Through our open process in the program office and board, the applicant receives feedback as the project idea develops. This builds knowledge both in the project consortium and in the program management. The process is not confidential.

Right now our open process is closed and we refer to our open call which you can find here.
