Swedish Transport Administration
SBUF spends about 50 million SEK yearly on support for development and research projects. However, the companies running the projects finance part of the projects. Projects are co-financed with government support, mostly from the Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning (Formas) but also from the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova), the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) and other research organisations. SBUF contributes to several major research programmes founded on co-operation between companies and technical universities.
