Session 3 - Equitable innovation support through coordination between national and regional actors: How do we design the food support system for both innovation and growth? (Session held in Swedish)

Produktion, konsumtion och värdekedjor inom planetens gränser kräver ett smartare nyttjande av befintliga resurser såväl som en stor dos innovation. Idag är stora delar av stödsystemet avgränsat utifrån geografi eller bransch. Ska vi kunna möta samhällsutmaningarna behöver vi jobba smartare och kunna ge våra entreprenörer rätt stöd vid rätt tidpunkt i deras utveckling oavsett geografisk hemvist. Det kräver omtag för hur stödsystemet idag är organiserat. Välkommen att ta del av analys och exempel från Livsmedelsbranschen.

Session 4 - Public procurement as an innovation engine (Session held in Swedish)

Public sector has a huge potential to drive innovation and transformation. In Sweden alone, public procurement is worth over 800 billion annually, and if we look at the entire EU, public procurement covers almost 14% of the EU's GDP. The strategic use of innovation procurement is emphasized to an increasing extent at all governance levels to meet the societal challenges and to take advantage of the innovative capacity that exists in both companies and the public sector. 

"It is crucial for society's development that business's innovation potential is released and utilized through public procurement."

This is how the importance of achieving innovation procurement is formulated in the National Procurement Strategy (Government Offices of the Ministry of Finance). 

So how do we increase the public sector's demand for innovations?

Join us for an inspiring session with a focus on concrete tools and methods that can be used to be used in different settings and at different stages.

You will get to listen to concrete cases and learnings - from startups who have  actively been collaborating with public sector actors and from municipalities that are at the forefront when it comes to startup collaboration.

Day 3 March 23rd
12.00
Main stage

Are we up for the challenge of leading future innovation?

Sweden has landed at the top of European innovation. Reasons for this include a historic tradition of inventors, a commitment to gender equality, democracy and a strong belief in the individual. Numerous Swedish inventions from the last 4 centuries have made our lives easier. Startups from Ideon Science Park alone, has given birth to Bluetooth, the first Inhalator for asthma medicine and facial recognition technology, just to mention a few. We cannot innovate the future, nor define the innovations in the coming 40 years - global challenges are. Therefore, more than ever, collaboration with an open and curious mindset are needed. This is how we do it.
