Swedish Mining Innovation Program Day

Program Day 2024

Project leaders and innovators from the Swedish mining cluster gathered to showcase their projects – all funded by Vinnova through Swedish Mining Innovation’s calls. 27 of our ongoing projects presented their work in the five categories:
  • Mining
  • Recycling and byproducts
  • Environment
  • Processing
  • Other diverse projects

Video from Program Day 2024

 

– Many of the projects we’re seeing today, such as battery and critical metals recycling, weren’t even on the radar when the program began. Now, we’re funding a wider range of circular solutions to meet the pressing demands of society’s transition, says Charlotte Andersson, Program Director, Swedish Mining Innovation.
