Measuring how innovation is creating an impact and seeing real results.
Welcome to day three of Sweden Innovation Days!
The ability to envision alternative futures is a superpower that can give us surprising and even radical new ideas on what to do today in order to create a sustainable future. To take agency of the future, realising that the future is not something that just happen to us, but in fact is what we make it into. As food for thought, we will share a scenario of an alternative future, to carry the question "what if" through the day. A piece of gravel in the shoe that disturbs, a seed of hope that can grow - a vision of what might become, or not, to provoke feelings and insights which lays the foundation of a dialogue.
The European Innovation Scoreboard provides a comparative analysis of innovation performance in EU countries, other European countries, and regional neighbours. It helps countries assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of their national innovation systems and identify challenges they need to address. The European Innovation Scoreboard 2022 was released on 22 September 2022. Sweden continues to be the best performer in the EU. Other innovation leaders are Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium.

The Edge Learning enables developers, data scientists, students, researchers, and other users to explore the possibilities and limitations of edge learning. To launch the Edge Learning Lab, AI Sweden joined forces with several partner organizations. The rapid advancement of technologies calls for new ways to transfer, store and process data. Data transferring methods also need to be cost-efficient and legally compliant while keeping sensitive information safe. Distributed and federated learning may be the answer.
