Expand your innovation and growth capacity
Become a partner in the new MobilityXlab
A neutral collaboration arena, tailored for the actual needs of the industry
Since 2017, MobilityXlab has been a driving force in startup-corporate collaboration. Founded by the mobility industry, we are a neutral arena, hosted by Lindholmen Science Park, where industry partners and the world's best startups work together on real challenges.
But the ways that businesses explore new landscapes have evolved. The new MobilityXlab is made for that: We are opening the successful model to more sectors and strengthening our offer in open innovation management. The successful formula that once served the mobility cluster alone is now expanded and available to more industries.
Global startups from 50+ countries on our database, ready to engage
Projects between our partners and startups to validate the adoption of new technologies

Challenge-driven collaboration
In the new MobilityXlab, partners from different industries join forces to find solutions for shared growth drivers. As part of squads, or collaboration groups, they define the challenges and work together with startups and also with each other. The MobilityXlab framework provides all the necessary innovation infrastructure so the teams can focus on collaborating, instead of coordinating.

Partners have equal balance in shaping the program. We don't invest or take equity in startups and we are hosted by Lindholmen Science Park.

Reduce risks and costs in innovation by joining a Corporate Venturing Squad
Corporate Venturing Squad (CVS) is an academic term coined by researchers at IESE Business School that studied MobilityXlab along with other innovation programs. CVS are multi-partner alliances where companies share resources to collaborate with startups to address complex challenges, explore new technologies, and drive strategic innovation beyond the capabilities of a single company.
