Hydrogen – The Systemic Innovation Cluster for Excellence along and across the Value Chains (Hydrogen SIC!)
Research Project, 2025 – 2026

Purpose and goal
Hydrogen SIC! will generate new innovations, products, and services within fossil-free hydrogen, strengthen the competitiveness of Swedish industry, and create new jobs. The cluster contributes to reduced emissions, increased energy security and resilience, and strengthens Sweden’s position as a global frontrunner in the green transition.

Expected effects and result
The project is carried out through workshops, interviews, and analyses with academia, industry, and public actors. The focus is on identifying research needs, building networks, and developing a common strategy for a Swedish excellence cluster in hydrogen. The work will result in long-term collaboration, prioritized research areas, and international positioning.

Planned approach and implementation
