Production clusters

Sweden's Production Cluster is a structure for coordination of research and development initiated by the Swedish automotive industry. Target group is all companies with manufacturing within Sweden.

Today, eight active clusters coordinate different areas of expertise in manufacturing. Four of these focus on manufacturing processes and the other four cover areas that support all processes. The goal is to develop economically and environmentally sustainable manufacturing systems that are capable of efficiently supplying the market with the innovative products of the future. Through the cluster's working methods and activities, we strengthen Sweden's continued success as a sustainable industrial nation.

This is what the clusters do:

  • Creates roadmaps based on industry challenges
  • Initiates R&D projects to build knowledge in identified areas
  • Performs knowledge transfer from the projects
