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.

California-based traffic tech company establishes presence in Sweden – the result of a Future Mobility-funded collaboration
A research collaboration between Linköping University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and the California-based company Xtelligent has led to both technical breakthroughs and long-term impact – and now, Xtelligent is establishing operations in Sweden. The project, supported by Future Mobility, demonstrates the power of international collaboration to tackle the mobility challenges of the future.
Navigating Legal Challenges in US-Sweden Innovation Collaborations
It can be challenging to get the signatures needed to start a bilateral collaboration. In some cases, it only leads to delays, in other cases, the whole project must be cancelled. Future Mobility, AWA and GTI hosted a webinar that provides hands-on advice on how to reduce the risk of such problems. Now the webinar is available to rewatch!
