Innovation Council will hold its first meeting at the government’s residence Harpsund on Tuesday.
– There should be addressed topics that are important for Sweden as an innovation nation, says Löfven TT.
The idea is that the government will discuss ideas with the Council, such as infrastructure, education and research. At Tuesday’s agenda is the state venture capital. Löfven believe it is divided among many actors and should be deployed in the past when companies develop new products.
The Council shall meet approximately once a quarter and have Secretariat in the Cabinet Office. Someone once a year, participants can also get to travel in Sweden or abroad.
The leaves are chairman. The other ministers included are Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson (S), Industry Minister Mikael Damberg (S), Deputy Prime Minister Åsa Romson (MP), and research and education minister Helene Hellmark Knutsson (S).
SVT News Names other participants. There is, among other telecom giant Ericsson CEO Hans Vestberg and Johan Rock Power, professor of environmental science
The leaves emphasizes that innovation council neither shall present a report or submit their own proposals.
– It is the government that takes responsibility for the proposals and this means that the ten persons coming from outside do not need to feel that they must take responsibility for government policy.
Innovation Council was one of the first own suggestions Stefan Löfven brought forward after he was Social Democrats’ leader 2012. He hopes that the advice Innovation Council provides and the concrete government proposals following them will lead to more developed products, more new businesses and growing businesses.
– It’s job is all about.
HH: Will not it take a long time when the Council only meets once per quarter?
– It depends. It is clear that it will not be that nothing happens in between. But it’s not that there will be a new bill two weeks after the Council met.
HH: Will there be taboos of the Council, such as tax cuts?
– We have not I said what is taboo, but what we are aiming for. This will not be the great battles of taxes or labor law. Here it is more workshop. How do we get innovation processes that work best?
