As part of the series of online workshops on “countries and regions initiatives supporting zero-emission road freight and logistics”  jointly organised by EMEurope and ALICE, with the support of the POLIS Network and the project ENTRANCE, Sweden will be in focus. In this workshop, organised by the Lindholmen Science Park on behalf of the Swedish Energy Agency (SWEA) in collaboration with Sweden’s Innovation Agency (Vinnova) information about the Swedish Innovation System lighthouse projects and strategies and funding opportunities will be presented. The aim is to bring together representatives of companies, research, cities, and (national/regional) policymakers to share information on current and planned incentive schemes, especially about research and innovation (R&I) programmes to accelerate the transition towards zero-emission road freight transport and logistics in European regions and countries.
