Sustainable society
This is the time to accelerate the transition to a sustainable society. We’re committed to a stable and accessible energy system and a circular economy. Where we use every suitable surface for solar and wind energy; on land and offshore. And where we make plastic from air and waste gases.
Safe and secure society
This is the time to lead the world in safety and security. We protect what we hold dear and ensure that we can live together in freedom and safety. We have a leading position in the military domain and use scientific knowledge and technology to improve physical and digital security.


Healthy society
This is the time to make our lives healthier. We contribute to a healthy, vital, and productive population, and aim to halve lifestyle-related diseases by 2030.
Digital society
This is the time of unprecedented digital opportunities (including AI and social XR). We work on technologies to connect networks and use them flexibly, and to take social interactions to the next level. Always with the ambition to use data and systems responsibly.
