AI Sweden International

AI Sweden's mission is to accelerate the use of AI in Sweden, for the benefit of our society, our competitiveness, and for everyone living in Sweden. To succeed, we need to collaborate with the best in the world. We are therefore building relationships with outstanding and well-recognized organizations and ecosystems.

Building relationships with relevant actors around the world is key for accelerating the use of AI in both Sweden and abroad. By gathering the very best internationally, we can leverage knowledge and experience to strengthen ecosystems as well as organizations' ability to use AI. That is why, for example, we are partnering with Mila, Helmholtz, and appliedAI. The collaborative efforts are built around AI Sweden's core areas, some of which are highlighted below.
