Future Mobility catalyzes research and innovation collaboration within sustainable mobility between the US and Sweden.

With dedicated resources in both countries, the Future Mobility initiative aspires to lower the thresholds to collaboration. We offer three types of support to actors in Sweden or in the United States interested in collaborations within sustainable mobility:

  • Inspiration and knowledge related to collaborations between Sweden – the United States 

  • Matchmaking to help you identify relevant innovation partners 

  • Guidance towards potential funding sources. 

If you have a collaborative idea but lack the resources to develop it, we can assist you in finding funding. We can propose relevant funding schemes in both countries, and we are happy to support you in the development of an attractive project proposal.

Purpose and goals

The purpose of Future Mobility is to contribute to sustainable mobility by making the research and innovation (R&I) network between Sweden and the United States denser. It means among others:

  • A higher number of, larger and/or more efficient research and innovation collaborations with a long-term poten­tial
  • Increased knowledge exchange.

In line with this, the overarching goal is to speed up the development towards sustainable mobility. Sustainable mobility refers to activities that enable the movement of people and goods that are effi­cient, healthy and climate-neutral, and accessible to all.
