Vision and purpose

Within ElectriCity, new solutions that can contribute to sustainable, electrified travel and transport are developed, tested, demonstrated and evaluated, thereby creating new opportunities for urban development. ElectriCity, which was started with the ambition of promoting the electrification of public transport, has generated several positive results. This has attracted more parties to the collaboration, which has been widened and deepened. The breadth of the collaboration creates new conditions for traveling, building and living in the cities of the future.

ElectriCity is driven by the parties' joint vision for the collaboration:

  • An innovative and forward-thinking partnership involving the city, the region, business and academia on sustainable and electrified travel and transport.
  • A region at the forefront of sustainable solutions and mobility that is attractive for competences, investment and business establishment.
  • An arena for testing new products and services for travel and transport.
  • A source of inspiration and motivation for the urban development of the future.
  • A world-class automotive and ICT industry.

The content of the vision is concretized by the fact that ElectriCity's demonstration arenas are real environments where citizens participate and assess the products and services being tested. The collaboration strengthens the points of contact between the parties and an ongoing dialogue builds the trust needed for all participants to want to share knowledge and resources to realize the vision.
