Sector initiatives and applied AI projects
In AI Sweden’s sector initiatives, organizations from the private and public sectors as well as academia, come together to address major societal challenges where AI has the potential to play a key role.
As a national partner network, AI Sweden engages in areas that demand collective effort beyond the capacity of any single actor. Through its sector initiatives and collaborative projects, AI Sweden drives efforts that are vital to the development of our society.
Small and medium-sized businesses & the innovation ecosystem
Small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of Sweden’s economy. At AI Sweden, we support them both directly and through key players in the innovation ecosystem – including science parks, incubators, and business coaches – to help them seize the opportunities of artificial intelligence, build critical skills, and generate real value for both business and society. The goal is to strengthen innovation capacity, increase competitiveness, and prepare for the challenges of the future.
AI Sweden Automotive Cluster
The automotive industry is going through massive changes and challenges at the core level. What role will AI play in its future competitiveness? This is at the heart of what the Automotive Cluster is about - differentiating research, and breaking new ground to find the real value proposition of AI in one of the largest industries in need of fresh innovation.
Collaboration for AI in Municipalities and Civil Society
AI is a powerful tool for organizational development in all sectors of society. Since 2022, AI Sweden and Vinnova spearheading a targeted initiative for the country's municipalities and civil society organizations under the project titled Collaboration for AI in Municipalities and Civil Society, also known as 'Kraftsamlingen'. The initiative aims to provide municipalities and civil society organizations with tailored assistance to understand how AI can be used and the opportunity to seek funding for concrete projects.
Energy
Transforming Sweden’s energy system to be fossil-free and more resilient will take a lot of effort. To better understand what transformation is needed and what is possible, decision-makers need in-depth insights into both electricity production and electricity consumption. This is what AI Sweden’s energy initiative is about. The first step is an interactive simulation of the Swedish energy system.
Healthcare
At the core of our mission is a firm conviction that artificial intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in enhancing the delivery of outstanding health services to the people of Sweden. Through the Information-driven Healthcare initiative, now concluded, we supported Swedish healthcare organizations in adopting AI. The aim has been to offer more information-driven, personalized, and scalable healthcare. Furthermore, the collaboration between Unity Health Toronto and AI Sweden promises to bring significant Canadian insights to the Swedish healthcare system.
A shared digital assistant for the public sector
The shared digital assistant for the public sector is a collaboration between Swedish authorities, municipalities, regions, and industry, coordinated by AI Sweden. The objective is to promote national cooperation on AI for text-based tasks and to create conditions for shared solutions in the public sector. The ultimate goal is to support public sector employees by freeing up their time, allowing them to focus on more creative and interpersonal tasks.
