Key strategic questions
How can an effective innovation system be further developed that is driven by market needs and new technological or scientific knowledge and gives the opportunity to further exploit Sweden’s strong position in industry and research?
How can the corporate sector and the government collaborate to develop international cooperation to ensure that Swedish industry has good competitive position in relation to other markets?
How can full advantage be taken of the synergies between civil, military and space-related activities and what can be done to facilitate the technology to other sectors?
Ministry of Industry, Employment and Communications, Sweden
Action plan, to develop
1. a nationally integrated approach to the aerospace sector
2. the interaction between government, the industry and research
3. international cooperation and create a competitive environment
4. the capacity to deal with changes and security threats
5. the industrial structure at the national and regional levels
6. synergies between civil and military applications and between aviation and space activities
Ministry of Industry, Employment and Communications, Sweden
Way forward
Implementation of the action planFocused Swedish efforts, e.g. in increased national programs, to support the industry in international collaboration.Increase the R&D performed by the Swedish partners within the planned Joint Technology Initiative – Clean SkyContinued growth with focus on international collaboration
