As a research analyst, Mats is working with organisations such as the Stockholm School of Economics, Transportföretagen (The Swedish Confederation of Transport Enterprises), and Energiforsk (The Swedish Energy Research Centre), focusing on how technology, in particular digital technology, interacts with and changes the conditions for individuals, businesses, and society.
A central aspect of Mats' work consists in communicating the results to a wide audience, in written reports and as a speaker.
His latest paper is The Future of the Nation-State: How the Nation-State Can Find a Way Through Digitalization.
Ongoing and recent research projects:
► The Internet and its Direct and Indirect Effects on Innovation and the Swedish Economy – a three-year project funded by The Internet Foundation in Sweden (IIS) and led by Professor Robin Teigland.
Among the reports so far are:
► Digitalisation in the Energy Industry is a one-year project initiated by Energiforsk. A conference was held in Stockholm on May 17, 2018, and two reports can be downloaded here.
► The effects of digitalization, electrification, and automation on the transportation industry with regard to work and education – three research projects commissioned by Transportföretagen, The Swedish Confederation of Transport Enterprises.
