Sweden’s Industrial Liaison Office

Big Science Sweden connects international Big Science facilities with Swedish high-tech expertise. To help Sweden make the most of its investment in Big Science, we support Swedish companies bidding for contracts, facilitate knowledge transfer and promote career opportunities at these facilities.

Business opportunities

We help Swedish companies compete for contracts at Big Science facilities by providing procurement guidance and helping them find partners for joint bids.

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

Our Industrial Liaison Officers represent Sweden in the facilities’ ILO networks and work directly with technical and procurement teams. We keep Swedish companies informed about upcoming opportunities, including those shared through these networks.

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

You can find current calls for tenders and other procurement opportunities on this website.

Knowledge transfer

Through our Knowledge Transfer Office, we help Big Science facilities, Swedish companies and academic institutions exchange knowledge and technology. Swedish expertise helps develop research infrastructure, while technologies developed at Big Science facilities find new applications in industry.

Careers

We promote student programmes and career opportunities at international Big Science facilities. Greater Swedish participation builds expertise in Sweden and strengthens ties with the international research community.
