Organized in collaboration with: @SIO Grafen, @IAM-I, and InnoMatSyn.

IAM4Sweden is a national initiative that brings together the Swedish advanced materials community. The event is organized in collaboration with SIO Grafen, the Swedish strategic innovation programme for 2D materials.

By connecting regional and national initiatives with the European level within a single advanced materials ecosystem, the InnoMatSyn project, in collaboration with the IAM-I Association, is organizing a series of events across Europe called FAME-Ecosys Events. FAME-Ecosys stands for Future of the European Advanced Materials Ecosystem and is implemented together with regional and national advanced materials communities.

This event will highlight Sweden’s advanced materials community as part of the broader European ecosystem. It will present the newly published Swedish Strategic Compass and emphasize the importance of strong national and international collaboration—an essential factor for advancing innovation across Europe.

The program will explore how advanced materials can move from fundamental research to market-ready products, featuring three panel discussions with perspectives from researchers, startups, established companies, and funding agencies.

The outcomes of the event will contribute to strategic initiatives such as the IAM-I Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), the InnoMatSyn advanced materials ecosystem development and funding strategies, and RTI strategies, and will be communicated to the European Commission, particularly in the context of the Advanced Materials Act (AdMa-Act).

Stakeholders from across the European advanced materials ecosystem—including science, industry, policymakers, and funding organizations—are invited to participate. Their input will help shape the future of advanced materials in Europe.
