The Swedish Manufacturing Conference, formerly the R&D Cluster Conference
This conference, by many known as the Cluster Conference or the R&D Cluster Conference, made its first change towards a new name in 2025. From this year on, our new direction forward is highlighted by changing the name to the Swedish Manufacturing Conference.
Just like previous editions, the Swedish Manufacturing Conference is an arena for inspiration and networking with the aim of strengthening the Swedish manufacturing industry and cooperation between business and research and research organisations.
Since 2009, the Swedish Manufacturing R&D Clusters have, organized, developed and renewed the conference to offer the most relevant meeting spot for the industry and academia.
Since 2025, the conference is organized together with Net Zero Industry. The joint arrangement is an opportunity for us to highlight even more important and relevant perspectives for the manufacturing industry. Our goal is to be at the forefront, and we believe that this change is in line with what we want to offer the industry moving forward.
The Swedish Manufacturing Conference is organized by The Swedish Manufacturing R&D Clusters and Net Zero Industry in collaboration with Scania, Volvo Cars, Volvo AB, and FKG.
