Scania Forges New Partnership With Stockholm School Of Economics

The collaboration will focus on business models for the future transport ecosystem. Scania will contribute to a new research center at the Stockholm School of Economics over the next 10 years.

Transportation solutions provider Scania will contribute to a new research center at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) over the next 10 years. The collaboration will focus on business models for the future transport ecosystem.

“Scania is a technology-driven company, and as such, we are very successful. Both the industry and the transport sector are facing big changes, and future technology will create totally new business models within the ecosystem that Scania, its customers and partners operate. That perspective will be the focus of our partnership with Stockholm School of Economics,” said Henrik Henriksson, president and CEO of Scania.

The research center, which will be named Scania Center of Innovation and Operational Excellence will be run by Associate Professor Martin Sköld. Along with other researchers, Sköld will work with matters connected to the ecosystem of the transport and logistics business.

“The new center will provide a considerable addition to our research and education in innovation. Scania’s engagement and its insightful approach regarding innovation in manufacturing and industrial ecosystems make it an ideal partner for us,” said Lars Strannegård, president at Stockholm School of Economics.

The new research center will be part of SSE’s institution for innovation, which also encompasses other research centers that focus on entrepreneurship, innovative and sustainable management control and digital innovation. Scania also will be represented in the institution’s advisory board.

“To take a leading role in the shift toward a sustainable transport system, Scania has initiated several strategic cooperations with universities, customers and other technology companies. For a long time, we have had a strong partnership with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, which is our main supplier of technological competence. We are now broadening our reach by deepening our cooperation with SSE,” said Tony Sandberg, research director at Scania.

The Stockholm School of Economics is rated as a top business school in the Nordic and Baltic countries and enjoys a strong international reputation. World-class research forms the foundation of its educational offering, which includes bachelor, master, PhD, EMBA and executive education programs. The school’s programs are developed in close cooperation with the business and research communities, providing graduates substantial potential to attain leading positions in companies and other organizations.
