Green Transition Initiative
The objective of the Green Transition Initiative (GTI) is to position Sweden as a key partner to U.S. cities and states in their urban transformation, connect Swedish and U.S. stakeholders, and leverage opportunities in sectors such as mobility, energy, and buildings. The initiative aims to strengthen innovation collaboration, trade, and investments between Sweden and the United States.
GTI is a joint initiative between the Embassy of Sweden in Washington D.C., Business Sweden, the Swedish Energy Agency, and Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova.

Realizing the Green Potential
American cities and states have set targets to contribute to reaching global climate goals. Several states are taking the lead to transform sectors such as transportation, electricity generation and industry. These sectors together amount for almost 80% of total greenhouse gas emissions and there is a growing demand for innovative green technology to help reach climate goals at the city and state level.
A large number of Swedish companies, both multinationals and new start-ups, are at the forefront of innovative green solutions, and world-leading within sectors such as electromobility, renewable energy, sustainable industry and green buildings. Sweden, with its ambition to become the world’s first fossil-free welfare nation, offers a wealth of expertise and cutting-edge solutions that can contribute to the green transition efforts in the U.S.
Sweden and the Green Transformation - Partnerships, Business and Innovation
The initiative aims to facilitate knowledge-sharing in research & development, innovation, trade and investment by acting as a hub for Swedish and American companies, government agencies, and partner organizations.
The objectives of the Green Transition Initiative are to support the green technology implementation in the United States in sectors such as transportation, energy, industry and sustainable buildings, and to highlight Sweden as a key partner to U.S. city and states in their transition, as well as to create green jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.
