Objectives

By 2035, to have achieved a reformed public sector that holistically promotes and facilitates health and well-being for all residents regardless of geography and socio-economic status and ensures society’s sustainable transition within the limits of the planet.

SustainGov wants to contribute to making the public sector “the best version of itself”, i.e. an active enabler in the transition that has the ability, together with other societal actors, to generate system effects through system innovation.

Work packages

Skellefteå Science City is co-responsible for Work Package 2 – learning and exchange of experience between system actors and participates as an operational party under Work Package 5 – pilot activities.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for the public sector to work together to transform for a more sustainable and robust future.”
