“Produktion2030” (P2030) was established in 2013 as a strategic research and innovation programme. It aims to make Sweden a frontrunner in investments in sustainable production by 2030. P2030 works as a public-private partnership platform and infrastructure built on collaboration between industry, academia and research associations.
It applies a structure with two main dimensions,respectively six areas of strength and five instruments covering project financing, knowledge transfer,staff mobility, education and internationalisation. P2030 has a basis in the research agenda Made in Sweden 2030, developed byTeknikföretagen,the Association of Swedish Engineering Industries, with support from research and industry partners. P2030 is funded by VINNOVA, Sweden’s innovation agency,and industry.
Industry and research stakeholders have shown considerable interest in being involved in P2030’s operation and activities,including in offering co-financing.The five connected instruments, a collaboration platform and a bottom-up approach for roll-out are deemed vital for the success of P2030. It has however been challenging to find a balance between larger and smaller companies' priorities and to involve SMEs.
Since it was the first time Teknikföretagen ran a programme office in thistypeofprogramme, they also faced a few hurdles during the early stages.
