A guide to Sweden – United States partnerships within sustainable mobility

Thursday, December 19, 2024

In a move to support partnerships between Swedish and United States-based innovators, the Future Mobility initiative has developed a handbook that offers insights on how to collaborate across the Atlantic. The handbook is based on two workshops where a total of 29 innovation leaders shared their experiences of Sweden–United States collaboration.

“This document was developed in close collaboration with Swedish and American project managers, who are or have been involved in a Future Mobility project.”

– Josephine Darlington, Future Mobility


The development of the new handbook was led by Josephine Darlington, Future Mobility, together with Swedish and United States-based actors who collaborate or have collaborated with support from Future Mobility. It outlines practical steps for mobility actors looking to establish joint projects. It serves as a roadmap, helping Swedish and United States actors understand key aspects of working with partners across the Atlantic, from initial matchmaking to securing funding and managing a collaboration project. 

How Future Mobility Supports Collaborations 

Future Mobility, a publicly funded initiative, offers free services to actors interested in forming innovation partnerships with the United States or Sweden. The support includes practical matchmaking, funding guidance, and strategic advice to help projects get off the ground. By offering these resources, Future Mobility aims to lower the barriers for collaboration and ensure that Swedish and United States based actors can effectively engage in transatlantic innovation projects. 

The handbook is now available for download. Whether you're a company looking to expand your operations or a research actor aiming to develop new technologies, this guide is designed to help you navigate the complexities of working with partners in the United States. Explore the opportunities and take the first step toward making sustainable mobility a reality.
