Research & Innovation
Svensk Elektronik is behind the report: ”How do we equip Sweden to secure growth, strengthen the country's international competitiveness and achieve the environmental goals for 2030?”
This report, which is a response to a consultation, has been submitted to the Government as a reform proposal for the upcoming research bill.
The report describes that to maintain and strengthen Sweden's position as a leading industrial nation, significant investments and a clear strategy for the electronics industry are required. By coordinating research, development and industry, Sweden can secure its future competitiveness and contribute to sustainable development.
The report from Svensk Elektronik shows a number of important reform proposals that are needed to strengthen Sweden's competitiveness and sustainability in the long term:
Sweden should invest in the following key technologies and cutting-edge areas:
- Nano- and microelectronics (MEMS, integrated photonics, semiconductor technologies)
- Embedded systems and sensors
- Printed electronics
- Future energy systems
- Power electronics
- Pourable manufacturing technology (AR, human-robot interaction)
- Secure information and communication solutions (RF, cybersecurity and EMC)
- Wireless communication/radio/microwave
- Quantum technology
- New materials
Furthermore, you need:
- Increased funding for research and development
- Ensuring that Sweden can be part of international Fol and participate in international projects
- Making technology and research infrastructure available to more people
- Enabling a world-class academy
- That the enabling power of electronics can take its place in future innovation programs
- Created conditions for companies to want to operate in Sweden
Advanced digital technology
To secure growth and strengthen the country's international competitiveness, Sweden needs to invest more in FOI for advanced digital technology* * According to Vinnova's report Strategic Technologies for Sweden 2024-10-31
- Svensk Elektronik is pushing the issue of establishing a publicly funded innovation program for advanced digital technology (including advanced connectivity, satellite communications, semiconductors, sensors).
