With Sweden’s accession to NATO and expanding EU defence industrial frameworks such as the European Defence Fund and EDIP, rapid cross-border collaboration in cutting-edge dual-use technology is becoming essential.
The session is designed to introduce the Trilateral Innovation Platform (TIP), a joint initiative by Vinnova and Business Sweden aimed at strengthening research and innovation collaboration between stakeholders in Sweden, France and Germany. By bringing together industry, academia and the public sector, TIP provides a framework for developing joint R&D and innovation projects, building international consortia and accessing European funding opportunities, including Horizon Europe.
The session will also illustrate how Swedish R&D-active companies can leverage the platform to explore international partnerships and identify potential opportunities for joint projects. Business Sweden’s teams in Paris and Berlin will present a selection of relevant dual-use companies and institutions from France and Germany, highlighting concrete examples of potential collaboration opportunities. The presentations will be followed by an open discussion, allowing participants to ask questions, share perspectives and identify areas of mutual interest that could be explored further through TIP.
Furthermore, the event serves as an ideal platform to engage with our Business Sweden defence specialists and connect with Swedish industry peers interested in collaborative R&D.
Please note that seats are limited. To secure your place, kindly RSVP by 10 November.
