Advanced Digitalisation is an industry-driven research and innovation program aimed at promoting and accelerating Sweden’s and Swedish industry’s capacity to create the digital solutions of the future, thereby driving the necessary transitions we face. This is achieved by funding demand-driven research and innovation initiatives and establishing cross-sectoral structures for collaboration.
We want
Advanced Digitalisation is based on a vision that Sweden will remain a leading nation in innovation and research. Through joint efforts, we aim to accelerate the development of next generation digital solutions here in Sweden. We strive to promote initiatives addressing relevant and current challenges, thereby fostering mobilization, collaboration, and broad synergies. By doing this, we achieve our goals. We are committed to ensuring that the initiatives we support today build the knowledge needed to develop the advanced solutions of tomorrow.
A partnership
The digital transformation is too slow in Sweden, which is one reason why Advanced Digitalisation was formed. What we do here and now must aim to achieve long-term change. The program’s scope, long-term focus, and the commitment from the industry are crucial for being able to deliver on the program’s overall goals. It is through competitive Swedish companies with strong digital capabilities that we can create a digitally advanced Sweden. However, Swedish industry faces challenges in the digital transition. It is only when these challenges are addressed that the industry can truly begin to deliver the goals and achieve the rapid and lasting change we need.
A multi-billion initiative
In March 2023, the government announced that the state would contribute SEK 2.3 billion to Advanced Digitalisation through to 2027. In this way, a multi-billion investment is currently underway, as the partnership is based on the industry matching the state’s contribution with an equivalent amount. With this budget, Advanced Digitalisation has the opportunity to fund initiatives that truly make a difference. However, the partners’ ambition is higher, aiming for the program to continue until at least 2030 with an annual budget that doubles during this period.
Framework
Advanced Digitalisation has a roadmap with program and impact logic that describes the program’s structure and summarizes its governance and focus.
