How can European finance ministries drive and shape the transition to a low-carbon society? This has been the focus of a major international study at Oxford Smith’s School of Enterprise and the Environment, in collaboration with the Swedish Energy Agency.

In the report, scholars have explored tools and philosophies used at finance ministries in Sweden, Finland and Great Britain, including input from policy experts like Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and Professor Mariana Mazzucato, among others.

This event will present the result of the report – and introduce 10 recommendations for how Ministries of Finance can drive and shape the low-carbon transition.

The Swedish Energy Agency works for a sustainable energy system, combining ecological sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply. For a more efficient energy use, the Agency supports the development and dissemination of knowledge targeted at households, industry, and the public sector.

Join us for a seminar about the Sweden-US Green Transition Initiative (GTI), a unique partnership between the Swedish Energy Agency, Vinnova, Business Sweden, and the Embassy of Sweden in the United States.

The Ambassador of Sweden to the United States, Karin Olofsdotter, will give an introduction to opportunities for collaboration between Sweden and the US within green transition. A panel with representatives from three of the founding agencies of GTI will share insights on how this inter-agency initiative can increase collaboration and drive innovation to accelerate the green transition.

You will also hear from a representative from the city of San Jose, CA, a partner to GTI, about the city’s efforts to reach its net zero targets and how Swedish solutions can help in this endeavour.

Furthermore, you will learn how you can get involved and benefit from the support and resources available.

About the organiser

As ambitious infrastructure projects to support the green transition are being rolled out in several states in the U.S., there is a growing demand for innovative green energy solutions and partnerships. Against this backdrop, the Embassy of Sweden in Washington DC, Business Sweden, the Swedish Energy Agency and Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova launched the Green Transition Initiative to accelerate Swedish-American collaboration in the transition toward a low-carbon economy.

In this exciting session hosted by the Swedish Energy Agency you will learn more about how the Swedish collaborative environment between academia and the private sector is shaping the future of batteries!

You will hear some real-life cases from innovative companies sprung from the academic world. Join us and learn more about the future of batteries!

As transportation becomes electrified and electricity grid storage capacity becomes increasingly important, batteries are essential to the development of our future sustainable energy systems. With world-class know-how in battery manufacturing, chemistries, recycling and sustainable mining Sweden stands out with its unique expertise in battery research.

Significant investments in research and development with strong universities and researchers combined with an almost fossil-free energy system has positioned Sweden at the forefront of battery development. A less visible, but never the less important, success factor is the strong collaboration and informal work culture that creates an exciting breeding ground for new innovations to take shape.
