News and press releases

Waste management in Colombia, Energy efficiency in Somaliland and mobility solutions in China – these are just a few examples of projects that have started as a result of Smart City Sweden. The platform works to demonstrate sustainable city solutions from Sweden and welcomes delegations from all over the world. The result is over 20 projects on four different continents.

Smart City Sweden will host an event on sustainable construction for the cities of the future on November 2-3 at Expo 2020 in Dubai. It is possible to participate both physically and digitally. Welcome to the Swedish Pavilion!

Finally, it is clear which 23 cities, together with Viable Cities and four authorities, are rallying for climate-neutral and sustainable cities.

This webbinar will present the report ” The Nordic Battery Value Proposition” -a commission to Business Sweden by the Swedish Energy Agency.

The Swedish Energy Agency grants the chemical group Perstorp just under SEK 295 million.  The chemical group Perstorp will, in cooperation with Fortum and Uniper, invest in a plant to produce climate-neutral methanol. The goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions across the entire value chain by approximately 500,000 tonnes per year. This project is part of the Industrial Leap programme, which supports the industry's transition to net zero emissions.

Sweden aims to become a fossil-free welfare nation by 2045. This call for proposals provides aid to projects which, based on sustainable biobased raw materials, have the potential to contribute to solving the energy and climate challenges that Sweden faces as part of meeting this goal. This means that the projects must be relevant to the future energy system, while at the same time contributing to solving the climate challenges.
