Sweden’s Industrial Liaison Office

Big Science Sweden connects international Big Science facilities with Swedish expertise. Our work focuses on business, knowledge transfer and careers to increase Sweden’s return from its investment in Big Science.

Business opportunities

Big Science Sweden supports Swedish companies in competing for contracts at Big Science facilities. We provide procurement guidance and help companies find partners for joint bids.

The Big Science Sweden Supplier Network includes around 300 Swedish SMEs and large companies with the expertise and capacity to supply Big Science facilities.

Our Industrial Liaison Officers represent Sweden in the facilities’ ILO networks and maintain direct contact with their technical and procurement teams. They share information about upcoming opportunities with Swedish companies, including information available specifically through these networks.

The team combines specialist technical expertise with extensive experience in innovation and business development. Many hold PhDs and also work at universities, research institutes or related organisations.

Current procurement opportunities and tenders are published on this website.

Knowledge transfer

Through our Knowledge Transfer Office, we facilitate the exchange of knowledge and technology between Big Science facilities and Swedish industry and academia.

Knowledge flows in both directions. Swedish expertise contributes to the development of research infrastructure, while technologies developed within Big Science find new industrial applications.

Careers

We promote student programmes and career opportunities at international Big Science facilities. Greater Swedish participation builds national expertise and strengthens Sweden’s connections with these facilities.
