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.
