If nothing happens to the project results after the project has ended, there will be no impact. Result owners need to make sure they have a preliminary commercialization plan ready by the time the project is finalized.
Successful transformation to sustainable solutions is dependent on collaboration between market actors, local policys and EU strategies. IMCG supports early adopters and helps energy utilities and property companies with strategies, business development and impact management.
Internet of things (IoT) and connected sensors are here to stay, and we can only speculate about the benefits from these solutions. Sweden have been a world leader in digitalization for a long time. There is much to gain from collaboration projects.
We offer services that support implementation and strengthen the effect of your business development projects. Our aim is to work for clients who contributes to and develop smart, sustainable and democratic societies.

For several years, IMCG has successfully supported energy companies and infrastructure operations in Sweden and in Europe. We have been consulting but also in collaborations in several European innovation projects in energy, smart cities and mobility. Read more about the FlexiGrid, United-Grid and IRIS Smart Cities projects below.
The FlexiGrid project aims at electricity netword operators and develops the smart electricity networks of the future that provide the conditions for an energy system that is completely based on renewable energy. The project will create an enabling architecture for small and medium-sized distribution system operators (DSOs) to unlock flexibility resources such as electric vehicles or battery storage. DSO will be able to meet the coming capacity shortage with smart technology. IMCG is responsible for coordinating FlexiGrid, its communication plan and business development support.
Gothenburg has together with five other European countries received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement €17 million. IMCG supports the companies with the overall aim to make them reach market impact with their sustainable solutions. IMCG manages these challenges through a horizontal innovation management process and works with all project partners in order to identify and further develop sustainable business models that can be replicated not only in cities within the project, but in other European cities and cities beyond Europe.
The goal of the UNITED-GRID project is to demonstrate solutions that meet needs and create opportunities in electricity networks for distribution system operators. Their electricity distribution network is becoming increasingly complex with new technologies such as renewable production, energy storage and load balance management. IMCG acts as development and innovation manager in UNITED-GRID, which means that we ensure the development of sustainable commercial solutions during and after the project. IMCG has been commissioned thanks to our expertise in strengthening the development of new technology on the market. In this project, we also contribute with strategic advice on intellectual assets.
