Innovation in focus for Prince Daniel Fellowship and IVA’s Business Council

The visit showed  MobilityXlab's role in fostering innovation in mobility, with its unique collaboration model that brings together established industry leaders and promising startups to jointly create new solutions. 

The delegation, including H.R.H. Prince Daniel and business leaders in prominent Swedish companies, gained a firsthand understanding of how MobilityXlab facilitates meaningful partnerships between its partners Polestar, Magna, Volvo Group, Zeekr Technology Europe and Zenseact and startups. They both shared stories of accelerating the development and deployment of solutions to make future mobility safer, sustainable, and more accessible. 

The MobilityXlab startup portfolio was represented by Klimator, Kognic, Radar Reticence, Embedl, Reselo and AffinityEV. They presented their technologies and demonstrated how their relationship with industry partners at MobilityXlab impacted their growth. 

A future with no traffic accidents was also highlighted, as the guests visited Zenseact’s laboratory to get a hands-on experience with autonomous vehicles and the technologies that will lead us towards zero fatalities caused by traffic.  

A shared belief in innovation and entrepreneurship  

A common vision of supporting the development of new entrepreneurs and a dynamic and competitive innovation landscape brings together the Prince Daniel Foundation, IVA’s Business Council and Lindholmen Science Park, MobilityXlab’s host organization. Lindholmen Science Park is an important host for Swedish innovation, fostering cross-sector collaborations that drive advancements in key industries such as mobility, AI and media.   

"We were honored to host the Prins Daniel Fellowship and IVA's Business Council," said Katarina Brud, director at MobilityXlab. "It is with great pride that we showcased the region's potential. The fact that MobilityXlab has attracted over 1300 startups from more than 50 countries during these years and that over 60% of the startups we work with proceed to validate their concepts is proof that we are doing the right things. What is being built here in Gothenburg is truly unique."
