The theme of the hundred list
This year’s IVA 100 List recognises research projects seeking to ensure that future innovations facilitate rather than threaten the economical and equitable use of the Earth’s limited resources, as well as increased sustainability, circularity, gender equality, democracy, security, health and wellbeing for humanity. The 79 research projects on the list have been selected after a thorough nomination and selection process based on a number of criteria related to creating value for industry and society.
“There is incredibly good research in Sweden with the potential to improve the world with the aid of new technology. For this year’s 100 List, IVA’s selection committee has chosen the most promising research projects that are considered to have great potential for commercial and societal benefits,” explains IVA member Marianne Dicander Alexandersson, chair of the steering group.
About the IVA 100 List
The 100 List is compiled by Research2Business (R2B), an IVA project that works to ensure that Sweden is at the forefront of translating academic research in the domains technology and economics into commercial innovation and competitive advantage. The 100 List was launched to celebrate IVA’s centenery in 2019, hence the name. The selection committee consists of some 40 members of IVA’s network of representatives from academia, industry and the public sector.
