For a Sustainable Energy System in Sweden
Speeding Up the Energy Transition
We need to make a global shift from fossil fuel-based energy sources (coal, oil, and natural gas) to renewable and sustainable energy sources (solar, wind, hydropower, and bioenergy). The energy transition means that we need to reduce carbon emissions, enhance energy security, and create a more sustainable and resilient energy system.
Innovation in clean tech, smart grids, and electrification is key to ensuring a sustainable, secure, and competitive future. The time to accelerate this transition is now.
In focus when it comes to the energy transition:
🔹 Decarbonizing. We need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change.
🔹 Electrifying. We need to replace fossil fuels with electricity in sectors like transportation and heating.
🔹 Make energy efficient. We must optimize use of energy to reduce waste and costs.
🔹 Decentralize. We have to shift from centralized power plants to local, renewable energy production.
🔹 Digitizing. We need to use smart grids, AI, and data analytics to optimize energy distribution and consumption.
Accelerating Innovations for a Sustainable Energy Future
Ideon Science Park is contracted by Energimyndigheten (the Swedish Energy Agency) as one of the actors promoting and accelerating the commercialization of energy innovations.
The mission of the Swedish Energy Agency is to lead the Swedish society’s transition to a sustainable energy system. The agency works for a sustainable energy system that is secure, competitive, and has a low negative impact on health, the environment, and climate. Ideon Science Park supports. The initiative – that we are a part of – works to strengthen support for innovation environments in the energy sector. The goal is to create environments that assist collaboration between researchers, companies, and intermediaries.
- We have been assigned to carry out initiatives that will help promote and accelerate the commercialization of energy innovations contributing to energy and climate policy goals.
- We contribute to making stakeholders more aware of the funding and promotional efforts available by the Swedish Energy Agency. We contribute to the agency’s oureach to a wider target group of applicants to increase the diversity of ideas and innovations addressing diverse aspects of energy issues.
- We contribute to increased collaboration in the existing innovation system at the national level through value-creating joint ventures.
