Wednesday, November 20, 2024

Do you have an idea in sustainable mobility, a challenge you want to solve or a product or service you want to expand to the American market? Future Mobility now offers financing for strategic projects that promote innovation and collaborations between Swedish and American actors. The goal is to create solutions that can change the transport sector of the future.

"By creating bridges between Sweden and the USA, innovation capacity is mutually strengthened."

– Hans Pohl, Program Director, Future Mobility


The program is now looking for more projects that want to make a difference.

What does a strategic project mean?

The projects that receive support must focus on sustainable solutions and contribute to an expanded research and innovation collaboration between Sweden and the USA. The funding is aimed at projects that strengthen innovation in three focus areas: electromobility, shared mobility solutions and connected or automated transport. 

At least one Swedish and one American actor must be included in the project. Future Mobility offers not only financing but also matching and guidance throughout the process. Get in touch if you are interested in participating.
