By uniting experts from industry, academia, and research institutes, our Mission is to:
- Identify shared challenges and opportunities in manufacturing R&D.
- Initiate collaborative projects that close technology and knowledge gaps.
- Advocate for increased support from government and funding bodies.
- Disseminate engineering results to implement innovation across sectors.
- Adapt through a flexible cluster model that evolves with industry and societal needs.
The future Manufacturing R&D Clusters –A system-level platform for industrial competitiveness
WHY it matters now?
- Global competition is intensifying
- Transformation pace is accelerating
- Sustainability and digitalization are redefining industry
- Fragmented efforts will not be sufficient
What we do in the clusters
Through the cluster’s working methods and activities, we strengthen Sweden’s continued success as a sustainable industrial nation.
- Translate shared challenges into joint priorities
- Launch high-impact collaborative projects with academical partners
- Accelerate from research to industrial implementation
- Shape funding and research direction
What members gain
The objective of the clusters is to develop sustainable manufacturing systems for innovative products, both with respect to economic and climate goals. A member of a cluster can obtain the following:
- Access to a high-impact industrial ecosystem
- Direct influence on future R&D priorities
- Faster innovation cycles
- Early access to validated solutions
Our clusters
Eight clusters are active today within different expertise areas within manufacturing R&D. Four clusters deal with specific manufacturing process areas, while four clusters focus on supporting areas of importance for sustainable production.
