Find Swedish best practice

The Stockholm School Properties Company (SISAB) has developed and tested an innovative approach to make their buildings’ electricity use more efficient using high-resolution real-time data and AI-driven analysis. This advanced solution is making it easier to detect anomalies early and optimize operations, leading to significant reductions in both energy costs and climate impact.

As part of Stockholm’s ambitious plan to redevelop the southern inner city, the Meatpacking District (Slakthusområdet) is set to become a vibrant and attractive destination to live, work, and enjoy. The City’s pioneering fossil-free contracting initiative aims to promote more sustainable construction practices and significantly reduce the development’s environmental impact.

Stockholm Royal Seaport is bringing to life a vision for a more sustainable future, aiming to become an attractive, resource-efficient, and fossil-free neighbourhood. Recognized as a hub for innovative solutions, this district stands as Sweden’s largest initiative in sustainable urban development.

‘Manufacture in wood’ is a gathering of forces from the wood construction industry and the wood-based interior design industry. The project will take advantage of the expertise available in production, automation and digital systems so that companies that work with wooden house construction, interior design and design can develop, with new solutions and smarter processes.

Kristineberg Center is an open partnership founded to accelerate the transition to a sustainable blue economy. The mission is to advance the implementation of research and knowledge.

This plant outside of Stockholm is the first of its kind in Sweden, using the Near-Infrared Technology to automatically sort out plastics from household waste. A total of 11,000 tonnes of plastic and 2,500 tonnes of metal are sorted out each year.

AstaZero is the world’s first full-scale independent test environment for future road safety.
The facility is unique since the different traffic environments make it possible to test advanced safety systems and their functions for all kinds of traffic and traffic situations including for example light and heavy vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists as well as ICT infrastructure and logistic solutions.

In a circular economy, waste is a resource that can be recycled into materials and energy. And that is exactly what is happening in the recycling facility in Högbytorp!

It is smart to use a circular business model where you can use existing buildings to create new buildings. Wood as a renewable building material plays a key role when existing buildings get new life with the help of wooden extensions.

The Energy Evolution Center will be an arena for innovative solutions that lead to real energy conversion, increased competitiveness in companies and ensure long-term supply of skills.

A project is underway in the far north of Sweden to move and relocate the entire city of Gällivare. Public buildings are being replaced, creating a need for innovative, multi-purpose properties. The multi-activity building in the city centre will bring sport, activities and culture under one roof.

Last-mile delivery is the final stage of an item’s journey, where it reaches the end customer. It’s also the most carbon-intensive stage. Growth in e-commerce is increasing both traffic congestion and CO2 emissions from delivery vehicles. Intensive work is underway in Gothenburg to test carbon-neutral concepts for last-mile deliveries.
