What is our next major global energy innovation? It is very possible that it is among the ten specially selected cleantech start-up companies that compete in the Cleantech Open in Malmö today. More than 500 participants have signed up for the event and we hope to see the start of many business-to-investor relationships.

The Swedish Energy Agency's program, India-Sweden Innovations' Accelerator (ISIA), has since the beginning of 2013 resulted in a number of collaborations for Swedish innovation companies. While India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Sweden, 12 Swedish innovation companies travel to India to present their solutions for the development of the energy system.

The Swedish Energy Agency has granted funding of up to SEK 146 million to Northvolt Lab's planned pilot plant for large-scale battery manufacturing in Sweden. The decision is a major step towards a new domestic industry and a sustainable energy system.

SSAB's, LKAB's and Vattenfall's initiative for a carbon-dioxide-free steel industry has gained additional support from The Swedish Energy Agency. Today the agency passed a resolution to finance a 4-year long research project for SEK 99 million. At the same time, the three companies behind the initiative, SSAB, LKAB, and Vattenfall, have decided to form a corporate joint venture to spur on this initiative.
