Time for a sustainable, safe, healthy, and digital society

This is the time to work together for a better future. By combining the power of science and entrepreneurship. For society, the public sector, and entrepreneurs. Today and tomorrow. #Thisisourtime.

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.
