International delegations explore the future of mobility in Gothenburg

Over the course of three days, EVS38 became a fantastic showcase for Gothenburg on the global stage. Our aim was to highlight Gothenburg as a leading city in electromobility and as an attractive destination for establishment, investment, and partnership. Interest was high, and we had the opportunity to present the very best of our region to a wide range of international delegations.

A delegation from the Netherlands arrived in a convoy of electric vehicles at Lindholmen Innovation District already on Sunday. Together with Lindholmen Science Park, we presented two projects within the Gothenburg Green City Zone. The first, PEPP; Public EV Power Pilots, explores how private electric vehicles can be used as energy storage to help balance the electricity grid. The second, Wireless Charging, tests inductive charging for electric taxis. A brand new wireless charging station was also inaugurated during EVS38. Read the press release

We also welcomed a delegation from the United States, arranged by the Green Transition Initiative. One of the highlights was a meeting with Anastazia Kronberg, Process Manager at Business Region Göteborg, who presented our work in micromobility. The group also visited the Mobility Hotel at Nordstan.

A delegation from Mexico had the opportunity to meet with Per Österström, Head of Collaboration & Innovation at Business Region Göteborg. Their interest was focused on how we work with innovation and collaboration in our region. The importance of strong partnerships between public actors, academia, and industry was a key topic of the conversation.

We would like to thank all our guests for three inspiring days filled with engaging discussions and new connections. We hope to see you again soon, a warm welcome back to Gothenburg!
