Green Transition through Innovation and Collaboration
Skellefteå Science City plays a key role in driving the green transition forward by actively promoting innovation and sustainable growth – locally, regionally, and nationally. We support companies and industries that develop new solutions within our focus areas: circular industry, sustainable mobility, the society of the future, innovation & growth, and digital & cutting-edge technologies.
Through our projects, programs, clusters, and testbeds, we enable companies to integrate sustainability principles into their business models, thus contributing to reducing their carbon footprint.
An important part of our strategy is to create platforms for collaboration between various stakeholders – businesses, academia, and the public sector – to jointly develop innovative solutions that support a sustainable future.
Skellefteå Science City acts as a catalyst for the green transition by creating conditions for sustainable and climate-smart development. Through our initiatives, we support businesses and industries in remaining competitive in a global market where sustainability is becoming increasingly important. At the same time, we ensure that our region continues to be at the forefront of both innovation and sustainability.
