Drive Sweden Policy Lab

Important results from the project

The project delivers based on two dimensions. The first dimension is about Policy Lab as a project form. The project has tested working on a new concept with open design, which is a new way of organizing projects to meet regulatory challenges in technology-focused development projects. The result is that the open design works and that there is an interest from other projects to collaborate with Policy Lab to move forward in their challenges, which corresponds to the second dimension of the project to work with real needs.

Expected long term effects

Through Policy Lab, stakeholders in the Swedish market can increase their knowledge of how the existing regulation support and hinder the market introduction of new technology and new services. In doing so, the project aims to strengthen Sweden´s innovative power by ensuring lawful technology and service development in order to promote Sweden as an attractive market for innovation among international stakeholders.

Approach and implementation

Through the workshop format, the various actors are given the opportunity to meet in a neutral place to exchange experiences and perspectives. This in turn creates understanding for the other and provides space for new constellations and networks. With increased knowledge and new skills about the Policy Lab method among the Swedish actors, better conditions are also created to handle future challenges in the borderland between innovation and legislation.
