Building Next Generation Industries
SustainTech Venture Day is an invitation-only gathering of founders, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers shaping our future industries.
Hosted by the Swedish Energy Agency, the event showcases Swedish innovations that are accelerating the transition to a clean, intelligent, and competitive energy system—innovations that will power the industries, infrastructure, and economies of tomorrow.
At a time when short-term priorities often dominate decision-making, SustainTech Venture Day brings together leaders with a shared long-term vision: to explore how breakthrough technologies, new business models, strategic partnerships, and patient capital can unlock sustainable growth and industrial competitiveness. Through curated conversations and high-level networking, participants discuss how risks, rewards, and opportunities can be shared to accelerate the deployment of solutions that create value for generations to come.
From Sweden to the world, this is where the people building the future energy economy come together to multiply their impact.

Why Sweden
A small market that exports what it invents. Sweden's energy ecosystem runs on ambitious companies, deep industrial know-how, public capital that moves early, and an investor base going increasingly international.
A European Capital Market Leader
Sweden is increasingly seen as the EU's most developed capital market and a model for the rest of Europe.
Strong tradition of R&D
Sweden invests over 3% of GDP in public and private R&D, one of the highest rates in the EU. That tradition has made it a global leader in innovation.
Built to export
With a market of ten million, Swedish companies have always been forced to look beyond borders to grow, driving startups to become competitive global players.

About Sweden
Sustaintech Venture Day
Established in 2018 by the Swedish Energy Agency, Sweden Sustaintech Venture Day (SSVD) acts as an exclusive event connecting investors with cleantech companies. Evolving from its start and strengthened by the surge of Swedish sustainable companies, SSVD now functions as a platform to showcase carefully vetted companies that have progressed beyond the seed investment phase, spanning from A round entities to recently listed corporations across various sectors. Through a combined focus on key sector growth opportunities and successful investment strategies, SSVD encourages investors to lean in.
Sweden's cleantech sector has matured significantly, with several companies securing substantial venture capital and growing from seed to scale-up stage. As a European frontrunner in sustainable innovation, Sweden is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for scalable climate solutions. This creates clear investment opportunities across the spectrum, from angel investors and family offices to large sustainability-focused funds.
