12 new projects within the Swedish Metals & Minerals programme!

The projects address some of the industry’s most important challenges:
– Digitalisation, AI and process monitoring
– Circularity and recycling of critical materials
– Sustainable and high-performance alloys
– More efficient use of resources and energy

Together with leading industrial and research partners, we are driving the development towards a competitive and sustainable Swedish metals and minerals industry.

A big thank you to all partners involved, and to the programme funders Vinnova, Formas, and The Swedish Energy Agency – now we accelerate the transition together!
