LATEST UPDATES – March 15, 2026
The overall theme for the conference is "Leading the transformation towards net zero industry".
Creaternity at Luleå University of Technology is a cross-disciplinary initiative addressing sustainability challenges through digitalisation and circular material use.
The initiative brings together researchers from more than 30 disciplines to develop solutions for smarter material flows, reduced environmental impact, and resilient human-centred systems, in close collaboration with industry and society.
Creaternity Impact Days (CID26) take place 20–24 March, just before SPS2026, offering participants an opportunity to explore ongoing green transformation and industrial initiatives in Northern Sweden.
Northern Sweden is undergoing a major industrial and societal transformation, with over SEK 1 trillion in planned investments.
As a hub for fossil-free steel, electrification, and circular value chains, the region is central to global sustainability and national resilience.
This transforming Arctic region offers unique opportunities for research and collaboration – where innovation, transition, and nature meet, from cutting-edge industry to Luleå’s archipelago of more than 1,000 islands.
