About
Sustainable Innovation – Organisational Pitch
Sustainable Innovation is a Swedish non-profit research and innovation organisation that develops, coordinates and implements collaborative projects for the transition to a climate-neutral, resilient and resource-efficient society.
We work at the intersection of research, business, public policy and real-world implementation. Our core areas are sustainable energy systems, sustainable buildings, mobility and circularity. We specialise in transforming promising ideas into structured projects, bringing together companies, municipalities, property owners, technology providers, researchers, citizens and public authorities.
Our capabilities cover project and consortium development, pilot coordination, stakeholder engagement, co-creation, business and governance models, communication, replication, exploitation and impact-oriented project management. We are particularly experienced in creating real-life demonstration environments where technical solutions can be tested together with users, market actors and public-sector stakeholders.
Sustainable Innovation has completed more than 100 innovation projects involving over 1,000 partners. Our European experience includes energy communities, flexibility, smart energy systems, positive-energy districts, open energy-data platforms and citizen-centred energy solutions.
For Horizon Europe, we are interested in partnerships across Clusters 3, 4, 5 and 6, particularly in the following areas:
-
energy communities, local flexibility and citizen participation;
-
smart grids, distributed energy systems and sector integration;
-
digital platforms, interoperability, data spaces and AI-supported services;
-
resilient cities, buildings and critical infrastructure;
-
electrification, sustainable mobility and charging infrastructure;
-
circularity, climate-neutral districts and place-based transition;
-
pilot implementation, stakeholder mobilisation and replication.
We can contribute as a work-package leader, pilot coordinator, stakeholder and user-engagement partner, exploitation and replication lead, or coordinator of complex multi-actor demonstrations in Sweden.
We are looking for ambitious European partners that need a credible bridge between research, technology, public-sector needs and practical implementation.
