Find us where industry meets innovation
We are represented with offices in Luleå, Stockholm, Sandviken and Örebro, where the industry has a strong presence. The program is stakeholder-driven and involves actors in the mining, metals, recycling and manufacturing industries, academia, research institutes, municipalities, regions, associations, trade unions and public authorities.
“Our mission is also our promise - a bold transformation that aims higher, further and bigger than the program itself. But everything we do will lead to it.”
