“Water is essential to life, and at Xylem, we’re committed to solving the world’s most critical water challenges. We transport, treat, and test water to ensure its quality.

“Xylem’s portfolio of products, solutions and services across the life cycle of water is unmatched. In addition to minimizing energy usage and lowering life-cycle costs, our solutions help customers around the world reach their sustainability goals in both water and wastewater applications”, continues Ulf Carlsson.

Collaboration with companies and the public sector gives researchers increased insight into various societal challenges and access to data and testbeds. This way, research can focus more closely on concrete problems and contribute to a more sustainable society.

The eco-system of stakeholders, referred to as the Industrial and Societal Partnership Programme, was established in April 2022 and includes, at present City of Stockholm, Region Stockholm, AstraZeneca, Ericsson, Saab, Scania and Skanska.
