WINWIN 2026 - Race for Impact: Building value through innovation

Do you work with innovation, resilience, sustainability or future challenges in any way? Are you curious about how we move faster, from ideas and pilots to real implementation?

Then WINWIN 2026 is for you.

We already have many of the technologies and solutions needed to strengthen water systems, energy infrastructure and societal resilience.

The real challenge is implementation.

Co-hosted by RISE, Sweden’s research institute and innovation partner, WINWIN 2026 is the event that brings together utilities, municipalities, energy companies, rescue services, authorities, researchers, investors, startups and industry leaders to explore one key question:

What’s slowing us down, and how do we speed up together?

Expect inspiring talks, honest discussions, real-life success stories and practical examples from organizations daring to go first. Together, we’ll explore where value is lost in today’s systems and where new value can be created through faster collaboration, implementation and unexpected connections across sectors.

Meet the people behind the solutions, share experiences across sectors and leave with new perspectives, valuable connections and concrete ideas to bring back to your own organization.

The solutions exist.
The challenge is scaling them fast enough.
