About Net Zero Industry

Our mission is to ensure a competitive and resilient Swedish manufacturing industry with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.

We aim to:

• Foster an industry characterized by a circular economy, with product development and production systems that minimize resource use, optimize resource efficiency, and extend product lifespans.
• Prepare the manufacturing industry to become more adaptive, resilient, and well-equipped to handle sudden disruptions.
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption from products, materials, and processes.

A Systems Approach at the Core

Achieving this mission requires the transformation of large, complex, and established industrial ecosystems. Many processes and systems within the manufacturing industry and its upstream and downstream value chains must be transformed. This involves parallel changes at the overarching system level as well as targeted efforts within specific parts of the system.

How Do We Work Within Net Zero Industry?

The program’s theory of change outlines the overarching logic of our approach. Our fundamental approach is based on continuous analysis of the system and its external environment, along with a broad range of initiatives that evolve over time.

The program aim to:

• Identify a comprehensive portfolio of initiatives that address the various perspectives necessary for systemic transformation.
• Stimulate bottom-up innovation through collaboration within the ecosystem.

We continuously work to identify emerging needs for innovation initiatives from multiple perspectives, enabling us to take significant steps toward systemic change.
