Public Innovation Summer Program 2025

AI Sweden's Public Innovation Summer Program 2025 aimed to promote innovation in artificial intelligence by involving talent in projects that addressed real challenges in the public sector and civil society. The projects were divided between initiatives at AI Sweden, Föreningen FVO, and WWF.

Learnings and highlights

The talent program has now concluded and took place from June to August 2025. In the video, participants and organizations share their experiences, insights, and what they worked on during the program.

Program Focus Areas

In this program, participants worked in teams of 2–3 on projects within the following key areas:

A shared digital assistant for the public sector (SVEA): Improving the onboarding process for new users. This project focuses on exploring and improving the introduction of the digital assistant within the public sector. The goal is to create content that facilitates, makes the process more engaging, and increases security for new users.
Use of generative AI in public operations: Exploring the potential and developing practical applications of generative AI technology within the public sector.
Scalability of AI solutions for increased societal impact: Projects that investigate and identify strategies for implementing and spreading successful AI solutions on a larger scale within the public sector.
AI for social good: Development of AI solutions that address specific societal challenges and create value for non-profit organizations and the public.

Purpose and Goals

The initiative's primary purpose was to promote concrete innovation in the AI field that could contribute to a more efficient and value-creating public sector, as well as generate solutions that benefited society at large. By involving talented individuals in these projects, a dynamic environment for knowledge exchange and development of new AI applications was created.

By connecting projects from diverse sectors with engaged talent, the program drove innovation and boosted AI application competence. Past programs showed that student teams often delivered strong results and valuable insights for all involved.
