Science & Technology Office

The Science and Technology Office (S&T office), was established in 1967, first as a part of the Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences - IVA. Since then, the home organization in Sweden of the S&T office has changed on several occasions. Today the S&T offices are part of the Swedish Agency for Growth Policy Analysis (Growth Analysis).
 
Growth Analysis is a government agency under the Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications. Growth Analysis has a governmental assignment to work on policy assessments and analysis. One of the main tasks is foreign based policy coverage for Sweden’s competiveness and growth. The focus is upon a development where growth and sustainable development goes hand in hand. The headquarters of Growth Analysis is in Östersund, Sweden, with branch operations in Stockholm, Brussels, New Delhi, Beijing, San Francisco, Tokyo and Washington. We cooperate also with other governmental agencies, such as VINNOVA, the Swedish Agency for Regional and Economical Growth (former name NUTEK) and the Swedish Energy Agency to mention a few, as well as with the Japanese and regional corresponding counterparts.

Current programs cover the following areas:

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Life Sciences and Bio-industry Sustainable Development Overall Development of Japanese S&T Policy and Innovation System
