With its small population, Sweden is a relatively small country, and to remain globally competitive, we must invest. This applies to all parts of society. The industrial research school will bring together a unique group of experts from both industry and academia – together, we will lead Swedish industry forward.

This is an important initiative to meet the needs of Swedish industry for specialised expertise and to prepare employees for specialist positions. It will create valuable networks for participating companies, both within academia and between the participating companies. Together, we are strengthening our competitiveness and capacity for innovation.

The research school’s vision and goals:

• A joint initiative within the field of smart industry in Sweden
• An industrial research school with close collaboration between industry and academia
• Creating new networks between participating companies, universities, and regions
• Laying the foundation for new collaborations
• Developing and establishing researchers within production to strengthen future industrial competitiveness
