Our mission

Driving the transition towards a resilient, sustainable, and demand-driven industry — by strengthening supply security, reducing climate impact, and creating new jobs in Sweden.

About the initiative

The initiative explores how Swedish industry can build resilience through on-demand manufacturing of critical spare parts and components, enabled by additive manufacturing.

On Demand 2033 brings together companies, researchers, and innovation hubs around a shared mission:

  • Reduce dependency on fragile global supply chains
  • Demonstrate how local, demand-driven production works in practice
  • Support companies in testing, adopting, and scaling new methods
  • Promote circular, flexible, and sustainable manufacturing models
  • Share knowledge and best practices through collaboration

This is about more than just technology.
It’s about building an industry that endures – even in times of crisis.
