Swedish Governments strategy group

May 2004: a working group is installed to develop a vision and strategy for the Swedish Aerospace Industry

Representatives from the government, authorities and industry

Addresses Aerospace issues in its context

Jan 2005 Report presented – start of implementation

Vision

Sweden’s internationally competitive aerospace industry is one of the main driving forces for Sweden’s growth and its position as a high-tech nation and the industry exploits synergies between civil and military applications in interaction with research and government


Swedish Aerospace industry is very competitive…

Growth potential2.1 billion € turnover per yearIncreasing export shareHigh R&D-input - 15% or 0.3 billion € per year The major industries are:Saab and Volvo Aero Ambition is to be an attractive partner -politically and industrially


…contributes to societyCapture potential spin-off results from aerospace R&DVenture Capital Council organizations within industryInnovationBridge: Government support forms for new business SwedCat: Co-operation Saab-Volvo-Ericsson on jointly developing new businesses from spin-off

Key strategic questions

How can an effective innovation system be further developed that is driven by market needs and new technological or scientific knowledge and gives the opportunity to further exploit Sweden’s strong position in industry and research?

How can the corporate sector and the government collaborate to develop international cooperation to ensure that Swedish industry has good competitive position in relation to other markets?

How can full advantage be taken of the synergies between civil, military and space-related activities and what can be done to facilitate the technology to other sectors?


Action plan, to develop

1. a nationally integrated approach to the aerospace sector

2. the interaction between government, the industry and research

3. international cooperation and create a competitive environment

4. the capacity to deal with changes and security threats

5. the industrial structure at the national and regional levels

6. synergies between civil and military applications and between aviation and space activities


Way forward

Implementation of the action planFocused Swedish efforts, e.g. in increased national programs, to support the industry in international collaboration.Increase the R&D performed by the Swedish partners within the planned Joint Technology Initiative – Clean SkyContinued growth with focus on international collaboration
