Innovative power for Sweden made possible through collaboration

Lindholmen Science Park conducts several of Sweden's leading development and research programs with a focus on tomorrow's mobility for people and goods. The project activities are based on independent research and collaboration between academia, industry and public actors, and our collective experience means that we also act as a competence node.

At Lindholmen Science Park, independent research and collaboration projects are run in areas such as transportation, AI, ICT, media and visualization.

Our role and mission look different depending on which project we run or collaborate on. What we have in common is that everything we participate in should contribute to new solutions to the societal challenges of our time, with increased growth and competitiveness as a long-term result – regionally, nationally and internationally.

Starting point in society's needs

To solve the major challenges facing society, collaboration across traditional subject and organizational boundaries is required. Lindholmen Science Park's role is to be the coherent hub, the neutral enabler, through domain expertise and experience in innovation management. To drive, project manage, facilitate and be the engine of the complex research programs, as well as to identify and bring together additional subject expertise for the projects' goal achievement. Our mission also includes responsibility for knowledge dissemination of the projects' results - the role as a competence node.

A research and knowledge hub with breadth and cutting edge

"Tomorrow's mobility for people and goods" can be summarized as the spearhead of Lindholmen Science Park. This is expressed both through large parts of our independent project and program activities at national and European level, but also in the work that is done to develop the knowledge area locally. At the same time, a broad knowledge bank and unique experiences have been built up in several areas, such as transport as a whole, AI, ICT, media and visualization. The history behind these areas of strength is strongly connected to the overall industry in the region and contributes to the breadth and diversity of the research projects and thus the activities.

Transport and logistics

The most prominent industry connected to the ecosystem and research hub Lindholmen Science Park is the transport industry, both in the form of transport of goods but also mobility and travel for people. Where many actors in industry and academia focus on an individual part, one of Lindholmen Science Park's roles is to bring together different initiatives and find the common factors to develop the system where everything is connected. We direct our major initiatives towards projects and programs that embrace the whole and systems thinking, often with elements of testing and demo. Efficient transport and logistics solutions, the connected and automated transport system and the development of tomorrow's public transport are areas that we, together with our collaboration partners, focus on within the framework of the research projects.

Information and communication technology - ICT

Information and communication technology has a wide range of application areas and is a prerequisite for the operations and development of various industries. Not least, we see this today in the development of mobility and transport in urban environments. The major drivers for development in the ICT area today are IT security, the cloud, connectivity and process development. Lindholmen Science Park's research activities contribute to development in several concrete ways and we are engaged in applications for vehicles, eHealth, management systems and public safety together with our collaboration partners.

Media

The filed of media combines the creative and cultural industries with digitalization and technology. Within media, research and knowledge dissemination are focused on three phases in the value chain; creation, mediation/distribution and the experience. We facilitate meetings, conversations and participate in research collaborations for the development of media in the region. Our efforts today focus on film, television, games and democratic journalism.

Visualization

Visualization and simulation have become an increasingly important skill and a tool in the further development of products, industries and in presenting ideas. Lindholmen Science Park has an important role to play in several initiatives that are important to society and is an asset to both industry and to individual visualization players using Visual Arena as a tool and workshop, in combination with its expertise.

AI

The accelerating impact of digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) on the entire development of society requires completely new approaches to accelerate the pace of change. It is about raising awareness, increasing knowledge and insights into the opportunities and threats that exist, and how societal actors can collaborate to meet these.

AI Sweden is tasked with accelerating the application of AI in Sweden, both in the private and public sectors. This is done, among other things, through research collaboration and cross-industry sharing of experiences, knowledge and data.
