Start an innovation collaboration with funding from Future Mobility
Future Mobility aims to contribute to new or strengthened innovation collaborations between Sweden and the United States within sustainable mobility.
We finance projects that boost bilateral research and innovation collaboration. In the United States, focus is on California, but other states are also welcome to participate.
International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition 38 (EVS-38)
Perfectly in line with one of Future Mobility’s prioritized themes – electromobility – EVS gathers the whole ecosystem working with the development and introduction of electric vehicles. Attracting delegates from the whole world, EVS-38 offered a valuable opportunity for Future Mobility to meet Swedish and US innovation actors to create linkages and argue for the value of bilateral collaborations, with or without co-funding from Future Mobility.
