We create
sustainable
communities.
Sustainability InnoCenter (SIC) is a community hub for entrepreneurs, professionals, innovators, and academics collaborating on inventive initiatives and concepts aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The primary motivation behind SIC is to pave the way for novel concepts and ideas: spanning from the initial idea generation phase to actual execution. This is achieved through open innovation and the cultivation of fresh ideas connected to sustainability, climate consciousness, public involvement, and societal issues, with an emphasis on generating tangible, meaningful impacts.

What we stand for.
Four convictions that shape how SIC operates, partners, and ships work into the world.
1.
Identity
Fostering specialized knowledge, experience, and cooperative partnerships, we are unique in our clear, specific, and pragmatic approach. We strive for honest and open communication with all our partners, members, and supporters, building a foundation of prosperous and fruitful relationships where collaboration can flourish.
2.
Sustainability View
We utilize a systems-thinking approach to sustainability. Rather than analyzing or studying just one department when making decisions, we focus on the big picture to understand how each part interacts across the entire life cycle and value chain to create increased partner value.
3.
Innovation Profile
We dare to be different and use our unique perspectives for creating new solutions for our partners. Our close ties to Uppsala University and the Center for Sustainable Development (CEMUS) help us to connect new ideas with those who want them, fostering breakthrough projects. As Albert Einstein once said: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when creating them.”
4.
Economy & People
As dedicated supporters of sustainability, the SIC team is financially self-sustained thanks to our partners and projects. While economic profitability is important in the actuation of our goals and investments, project finanrivate, and academic actors around shared challenges.
