Go green or go home may sound harsh but we believe that we don't have any other options. It all begins with what we as individuals and organisations can do, and It is our firm belief that the innovation environments in Sweden, the Science Parks in our cities could be arenas for accelerating the transformation into a more sustainable society. We and our community – the companies of Linköping are continuously working to accept the challenges of tomorrow and embrace new ways of thinking.
Now you as a SME working with solutions within sustainability have the chance to apply for vouchers for test beds! With these vouchers you get the ability to try your solution in Linköping municipality. Your solution shall aim to reduce green house gas emissions and make Linköping a smarter and greener municipality! This work is a part of Linköping Climate Neutral and Viable Cities.
Viable cities is a strategic innovation program with support from Energimyndigheten, Vinnova and Formas, aiming at creating climate neutral cities by 2030. Linköping is one of 23 Swedish cities working towards this goal. By signing the Climate Contract, Linköping has agreed to reduce green house gas emissions, facilitate innovation and make the citizens contribute to the change. The goal of the project is to enhance and facilitate the conversion to a sustainable city with the starting point in Klimat- och energiprogrammet which was accepted in the city council in mars 2022. The program proclaims the goals that Linköping municipality should be carbon neutral in 2025 and achieve net-zero emissions in 2045.
Digital tools are an important factor in this work and by being a part of this project (Linköping Climate Neutral) Linköping Science Park can contribute by facilitating technical and innovative ideas along with Linköping Science Park´s vision “Enabling groundbreaking solutions for the modern society”. It is our firm belief that the innovation environments in Sweden and the Science Parks in our cities could be arenas for accelerating the transformation into a more sustainable society. We and our community – the companies of Linköping are continuously working to accept the challenges of tomorrow and embrace new ways of thinking.
