IoT World- The largest community for IoT in Sweden

IoT World is the largest community in Sweden focusing on making society more efficient with the help of IoT. The network consists of committed project partners from research, business and public activities. The goal is to gather expertise, experience and knowledge in an open network to continue building the national area of ​​strength.

 

The Internet of Things is the network of physical devices and objects equipped with, for example, sensors, electronics and software that have the ability to communicate with each other. This makes it possible for these objects to collect and exchange data, and act on the basis of their own and other existing data. IoT has become a concept in many sectors, but it is still unclear what effects the new digital generation will have.

 

How can we help you?

IoT World is a platform where companies, public sector, and academia can meet and create development projects together. Our offer:

IoT World is part of a new collaboration aimed at supporting small and medium-sized electronics companies (SMEs) in their international expansion. The collaboration is called Elektrolink. Together with OpenTech,  Bron Innovation, and Clusters of Sweden, the project will contribute with expertise and networks to strengthen companies’ access to key markets.

Project partners: IoT World, OpenTechBron Innovation, Clusters of Sweden

Funded by: Smartare Elektroniksystem, Vinnova

Timeline: 2025-01-01 to 2026-10-30

The project aims to develop and validate a concept that enables and establishes a state-of-the-art, roll-to-roll production capacity in Sweden that can handle both the printing of printed electronics and the assembly of conventional electronics in the same production line and on the same substrate roll in high volume.

The project is carried out within the Strategic Innovation Program “Smarter Electronic Systems”, a joint initiative by Vinnova, Formas, and Energimyndigheten.

Project partners: RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Actia Nordic , Beneli, DP Patterning, Epishine, Ligna Energy, Linköping Science Park (IoT World), Magna Electronics Sweden, Mycronic

Funded by: Vinnova

Timeline: 2024-08-12 to 2026-02-28

Now IoT World can finally present the program “Connect! with IoT World” where companies that find it a bit challenging to navigate the connectivity jungle receive individual advice, coaching, and assistance from technology companies that are part of IoT World.

The offer is aimed at companies that wish to have some support when it comes to digital solutions that can streamline and make their operations or products more efficient. The solutions are developed by technology companies that are experts in the field and tailor the solution according to the needs and wishes of the requesting companies.

Project partners: Linköping Science Park

Funded by: The European Union, Region Östergötland, RISE, Linköping Science Park

Timeline: 03/2023 to 02/2026

The project will give public needs owners, research actors and companies the opportunity to test new digital solutions in a complex public environment for increased perceived security. The tests should contribute to sharing experiences and create learning about solution maturity and interoperability, organizational conditions and individual learning with the aim of spreading and scaling working solutions in other environments.

The project is commissioned by Linköping municipality.

Project partners: Linköpings kommun, Linköping Science Park, Östgötatrafiken, Stångåstaden, Utsikt, Action for society, Usify, Rise, Safe reaction, Linköpings universitet, Axis communication

M/S Dessi, a passenger ferry that operates between Kalmar and Färjestaden during the summer months, plays an important role in transporting tourists during the summer season. In a project led by Linnaeus University, energy-efficient IoT sensors were used to collect data on various measurements on board the vessel and around it, including its ports.

Project partners: Linnaeus University, Kalmar Energi, Sensative AB, Ressel Rederi AB,  Dialect AB, Rise.

Read more about the project and the final report.

The corona pandemic shed light on the challenge of material supply that has previously been a fact in healthcare. There is currently no comprehensive overview of how much material is available at the various operations and at what speed they are consumed, which can lead to both material shortages and surpluses.

“The project is about finding technical solutions but also new routines. Among other things, we will pinpoint what it looks like when the actual extraction of materials is made and how to make inventories. We want as much as possible to be automated and the goal is for it to be as simple as possible for the end users, the care staff. They should hardly notice the changes that are being introduced.”

– Project Manager Claes Otterborg, Östergötland Region.

Project partners: Östergötland Region, RISE- Research Institutes of SwedenIoT WorldKinda Municipality and Linköping Municipality

The project’s starting point is to create a digital solution that accompanies the visually impaired in the dynamic public transport. The solution should not require new physical installations, expensive equipment on vehicles or new aids. The solution integrates system solutions that apply digital twins of vehicles, open data that is shared in real time and machine learning with the mobile’s sensor system. The results can be viewed in the video below. The project has received funding for a continued development, this is ongoing.

Project partners: GaiaLiURISEVTI and Östgötatrafiken.

Our goals are to:

  • Enable our members to be at the forefront of IoT solutions, thereby contributing to creating a better world.
  • Provide our members with increased opportunities for development so that various IoT initiatives can make an impact regionally and nationally, allowing good ideas to be scaled and spread through our local nodes.
  • Being an open knowledge platform with processes and test environments where members share experiences and co-create innovations.
  • Being an arena for professional learning.
