Important results from the project
The aim of the project was to deepen the understanding of development trends and industry facts that are relevant to the innovation area and that have bearing on InfraSweden2030´s focus areas. The objective was to map industry facts and development trends within the InfraSweden2030 focus areas which can then be used partly for communication purposes and partly for planning and development work within the program´s focus areas. The project has delivered according to its aim and objective.
Expected long term effects
The project has mapped out relevant development trends and industry facts. The most important development trends identified are sustainability; digitizing; urbanization; service-based economy; and community safety and vulnerability. These trends are described in relation to the innovation area and in relation to the program´s focus areas. Examples of existing R&D areas that are relevant are also given. Industry facts relevant to the program are reported within four areas: management / planning; life cycle optimization; connection / synchronization; competence.
Approach and implementation
The project work is based on data collection partly through interviews with experts in the industry as well as with focus area leaders and other key persons within InfraSweden2030. Data has also been collected from literature in form of research reports, web pages, and reports and publications from various authorities and organizations in the industry. Collected material has then been analyzed and compiled into a ppt-material in two main parts: development trends and industry facts. Finally, recommendations and suggestions are given for possible continuation of the work.
