The Industrial Digital Movement (Digitala Stambanan) is an enabler for international competitiveness in the process and manufacturing industry. It is a collaborative project between the Strategic Innovation Programs Produktionen2030 and PiiA financed under the framework of the ”Samverkansprogrammet Uppkopplad industri och smarta material”.

Sweden is today one of the world’s most competitive export countries. But the conditions for the industry are now changing dramatically. The analog economy leaves room for a new digital market system. Data streams become at least as important as physical flows of raw materials and products. Exchanging data and information quickly and smoothly to both streamline and create new values along the industrial value chain will be crucial for continued competitiveness.

We need a digital highway. The Digitala Stambanan project investigates and maps the needs and opportunities of digital information exchange in Swedish industry. Increased digitalization creates completely new opportunities for speed and flexibility in the supply chains. This allows companies to collaborate with each other and with customers in completely new ways.
