Sweden at the forefront of sustainable mobility
Sweden possesses unique conditions to take a leading role in the transition to sustainable mobility. However, the global developments in battery technology and electrification demand swift, strategic action and increased international collaboration.
Sweden holds a strong international position in competitive research across various battery technologies. The Swedish Energy Agency plays a central role in this transition. By supporting research, innovation, commercialisation, and internationalisation of sustainable energy solutions, the agency contributes to strengthening Sweden’s competitiveness.
As part of this effort, the Swedish Energy Agency is participating in EVS38 – Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition, held in Gothenburg from 16–18 June. The agency will be present as a partner in the Swedish pavilion, organised by the Vehicle Components Group (FKG), with a focus on sustainable mobility and future energy solutions.

The pavilion will feature a diverse programme, including topics such as the Nordic battery value chain, the agency’s funding opportunities for sustainable mobility, and pitches from innovative start-ups. Visitors are also invited to networking events with a particular focus on battery technology.
In addition, the Swedish Energy Agency is welcoming several international delegations to discuss future collaborations and partnerships.
“We see EVS38 as a fantastic platform to showcase Sweden’s cutting-edge expertise in the electrification of the transport sector. We aim to attract more international, innovative start-ups and scale-ups to become part of the Swedish innovation ecosystem to accelerate the green transition together,” says Verena Adamheit, Senior Business Developer at the Swedish Energy Agency.
Unique conditions
Sweden has all the prerequisites to assume a leading role in the global shift towards sustainable mobility. With an electricity mix that is largely fossil-free and a strong environment for research and innovation, Sweden is well-positioned to attract investments and drive development in electrification and battery technology.
The electrification of the transport sector and the development of a sustainable battery value chain are crucial for achieving Sweden’s and the EU’s climate and industrial policy goals. At the same time, global competition is intense. To maintain and strengthen its position, Sweden must undertake strategic initiatives and enhance international cooperation.
