For a Sustainable Energy System in Sweden
The energy transition is about moving away from fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas toward renewable and sustainable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and bioenergy.
To create a more resilient, secure, and sustainable energy system, societies must reduce carbon emissions, increase energy efficiency, and accelerate innovation in clean tech, smart grids, and electrification.
Key priorities include reducing emissions, replacing fossil fuels with electricity, using energy more efficiently, expanding local renewable energy, and using digital technologies such as AI to make energy systems smarter
At Ideon Science Park, we support this transition by helping energy startups grow, connect, and scale innovative solutions that contribute to a more sustainable and competitive future.
Powerlink: We Help Accelerate Innovations for a Sustainable Future
The Swedish Energy Agency (Energimyndigheten) leads Sweden’s transition to a sustainable energy system—one that is secure, competitive, and has minimal impact on health, the environment, and the climate.
Together with Växjö Linneaus Science Park, Kalmar Science Park and Blekinge Business Incubator, we work to strengthen support for innovation environments in the energy sector.
Together, we are driving innovation to support Sweden’s –and the world’s – transition to sustainable energy.
