Nationellt forum för trygghet i stadsrummet - fokus på integritet och etik
En ny nationell mötesplats ska fokusera på hur vi kan utveckla kloka IoT-lösningar som kan att öka tryggheten i det offentliga rummet, samtidigt som individens integritet skyddas.
Trygghet på gator och torg är ett komplext problem som kräver innovativa arbetssätt. Nya teknologier, som IoT-sensorer och artificiell intelligens (AI), har stor potential att bidra till att minska otryggheten. Sensorer kan användas för att observera ljusförhållanden och trafikflöden, vilket kan bidra till en mer inbjudande miljö. Sensorer är också intressant för att förstå hur invånare använder allmänna platser. AI kan användas för att analysera data från sensorerna och identifiera både potentiella risksituationer som situationer som upplevs trivsamma. En sådan analys bidrar till ökad kunskap om nuläge samt kan effektivisera de insatser som görs för att öka attraktivitet och upplevd trygghet.
Det är dock viktigt att nya teknologier används på ett ansvarsfullt sätt och då krävs en mycket god förståelse för integritet och etik.
Tidigare i år startades Trygghetslabbet i Kista, ett innovationslabb som samlar företag, fastighetsägare, kommuner och akademi för att utveckla nya arbetssätt för ökad trygghet i staden. Trygghetslabbet bidrar också till att utveckla marknaden för ny teknik och skapa nya affärer. Här pågår under hösten en pilot som undersöker integritetsfrågor i samband med mätning av vistelsemönster på gator och torg. Piloten genomförs tillsammans med Stockholms stad, IoT Sverige och Integritetsskyddsmyndigheterns (IMY) regulatoriska testverksamhet.
Nu kompletteras Trygghetslabbet med ett nytt strategiskt projekt på uppdrag av IoT Sverige. Svenska städer som arbetar aktivt med trygghet i staden och Internet of Things-tekniker samlas till en nationell mötesplats, ett forum, för erfarenhetsutbyte och lärande. Forumet kommer att fokusera på integritet, som är adresserat i dataskyddsförordningen (GDPR), och etik.
Forumet är ett samarbete mellan Kista Science City, IoT Sverige och flera svenska städer som arbetar aktivt med att hitta lösningar för ökad trygghet i staden.
Vanessa Ware, projektledare på Kista Science City, säger att samarbete och kunskapsdelning är avgörande för att utvecklahållbara lösningar på problemet med trygghet i offentliga miljöer. ”Genom att samlas och dela kunskap kan vi superboosta utvecklingen av ett komplext område som trygghet på allmänna platser. Det här forumet är nischat och till för dem som ligger i framkant. Området har stor potential och när vi hjälps åt kan vi komma framåt snabbare och lyckas skapakloka lösningar för den hållbara staden,” säger Vanessa.
Under hösten 2023 kommer forumet att erbjuda en serie workshops för att stärka deltagarnas kunskap och kompetens inom området.
Målsättningen är att stärka deltagarna i forumet i området juridik och etik inom trygghet i offentlig miljö och IoT samt att identifiera möjligheter och utmaningar att arbeta vidare med.
Bo Baudin, IoT Sverige, menar att det är viktigt att beakta integritets- och etiska aspekter i tidigt i utvecklingen av nya datadrivna tillämpningar
“Det arbete vi nu gör inom området trygghet i stadsrummet kommer bidra generellt till hur vi bäst arbetar med integritet och etik i utvecklingen av Internet of Things” , säger Bo Baudin, IoT Sverige.

Navigating the skies: Drones and urban mobility
Navigating the skies: Drones and urban mobility
How can drones help cities become safer, more efficient, and sustainable? During Mobility Day 2023, experts in urban mobility and drone technology gathered for a panel discussion on this topic, addressing the transformative potential and challenges of integrating drones into urban transportation systems.
In the evolving urban environments of today, drones are rapidly becoming integral to modern urban transport strategies. The panel – featuring representatives from RISE, The City of Stockholm, Ericsson Drone Mobility, Region Stockholm, ATS Bromma and LFV – emphasized that drones have the potential to redefine a broad range of services. From efficient package deliveries to life-saving medical supplies like automated defibrillators, drones offer a flexible and eco-friendly alternative to traditional transport methods. With the right infrastructure, it’s anticipated that drone transport could replace up to 75% of express deliveries in the future.
However, innovation doesn’t come without its challenges. Regulatory constraints present a significant bottleneck, especially around permits and urban airspace ownership. Navigating these legal frameworks involves coordination between different layers of governance – from local municipalities to EU level. The panel also underscored behavioral challenges, noting that public perceptions, concerns and acceptance of drones in urban spaces play a vital role in their successful integration. There’s need for ongoing conversations, not just among cities, innovators, and policymakers, but also with the public to streamline regulations and create a supportive setting for drone integration into urban mobility.
On the technical side, allowing drones to operate beyond the pilot’s visual range brings up some specific challenges. These include not just limited control range but also concerns in other areas like data security and public safety, especially in high-density urban areas. During the panel discussion, it was noted that advancements in 5G connectivity are essential for improving the reliability and safety of drone operations in these settings. This technological progress, in turn, requires close cooperation between drone companies and mobile network providers to fine-tune network performance specifically for drones.
In conclusion, tackling these challenges calls for a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach. The path forward lies in aligning not just on regulations but also on infrastructure, financing, and, not least, public acceptance. By establishing a shared vision and mutual understanding among all stakeholders, the acceleration of drone deployment in cities becomes not a question of “if” but “when”. As cities like Stockholm aim for ambitious sustainability goals, drone integration stands as a powerful means to achieve them.

The power of data sharing
Towards sustainable mobility: The power of data sharing
How can data make our transportation systems more efficient, eco-friendly, and tailored to people’s needs? A session during Mobility Day 2023 took on this big question, with experts in the field discussing how data isn’t just about numbers – it’s a key tool for making urban mobility smarter and more sustainable.
The panel – featuring representatives from Voi Technologies, The Swedish Transport Administration, The City of Stockholm and Univrses – highlighted the critical role of data in shaping a sustainable future for urban mobility.
The key takeaway was clear: relevant and actionable data is a critical element in creating transportation systems that are both resource-efficient and aligned with the needs of the community. For instance, the use of connected vehicles was described as a game-changing approach to collecting detailed data on traffic flow and user behavior, which can then inform everything from day-to-day road maintenance to long-term urban planning initiatives.
Shifting from the mere collection of data, the discussion also touched on its real-world applications. For transformative change, data needs to be part of multi-disciplinary strategies involving software developers, urban planners, and policymakers alike. This is where standardization becomes crucial. Consistent data-sharing protocols, developed and maintained at both national and international levels, were mentioned as a driving-force for the next big leaps in transportation efficiency and sustainability.
The panel also emphasized that the value of data goes beyond guiding vehicles or informing decision-makers; it’s also key in shaping public behavior and influencing policy. Understanding travel patterns and time metrics, for example, can help refine the system and ultimately encourage more sustainable mobility choices. Ethical considerations, particularly regarding data privacy and compliance with GDPR guidelines, were underscored as essential for responsibly moving towards a data-driven future.
Looking ahead, it’s clear that data and data-sharing will be central in advancing more sustainable and efficient mobility solutions, not least in urban areas. Working together – across industries and borders – is key. As Stockholm and Sweden work towards meeting ambitious sustainability goals, the effective use of data stands out as a common thread tying many efforts together.

Exploring data privacy challenges for safer public spaces
Kista Science City, the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY), the City of Stockholm, and the strategic innovation programme IoT Sweden (IoT Sverige) are launching a unique collaboration for regulatory testing. This is the second pilot in IMY’s regulatory lab. It will explore data privacy issues when gathering essential information needed to enhance safety in public spaces.
ENSURING SAFETY AND ELEVATING NEW MARKETS
The City of Stockholm’conduct comprehensive safety assessments, recognizing that true safety lies in how people perceive and experience their surroundings.
To enable both new innovative use cases, standardisation and large-scale use of data that can be used to measure and impact safety, we are exploring cutting-edge measurement methods using sensors and a privacy-by-design approach.
Vanessa Ware, Project Manager at Kista Science City, emphasizes the significance of early exploration of regulatory issues. “By proactively investigating regulatory grey areas, we create greater predictability for innovative companies and urban developers seeking to develop and adopt new solutions that safeguard the integrity,” Vanessa explains.
IMY’S GUIDANCE IN DATA PRIVACY
The collaboration will enable IMY to offer valuable guidance to both the city and businesses navigating the complex landscape of data privacy in use cases linked to urban safety. This approach offers not only guidance for new businesses and municipalities, but will also feedback valuable learnings on new technology to IMY’s innovation hub.
“By incorporating data protection considerations early on, through regulatory testing, we can offer guidance to many at the same time as we learn about new technologies. ” Karin Lönnheden, IMY
IMPACT AND NATIONWIDE VALUE
Addressing safety in public spaces is a critical concern for municipalities across Sweden and the learnings from this work will be shared wiht a larger group and expect to generate nationwide value. IoT Sverige and Kista Science City have worked closely in creating this partnership with IMY and the City of Stockholm.
9 tips for a career in cybersecurity
Are you a student exploring career options in the tech industry? Cybersecurity offers an exciting and rewarding career path with numerous job opportunities. From ethical hacking and penetration testing to cybersecurity consulting and risk management, there are many areas of specialization within cybersecurity that offer attractive career prospects.
To help you get started, we’ve gathered tips from three experts in the Kista Science City cybersecurity community.
Do you want to work with cybersecurity? Here’s how to get started.
Eva Fogelström is responsible for the security department at Ericsson Research. These are her tips:
1
Cybersecurity is about protecting digital infrastructure, as well as mobile phones, computers, other connected devices, applications, and data. In addition to pure technology and technical solutions for risk management (understanding and prioritizing what is important), softer aspects of how people behave and act in relation to vulnerabilities and threats are also included. This means that there are many aspects of cybersecurity – hardware, software, cryptography, as well as protection of personal data (privacy), secure AI, user-friendliness, and analysis of the environment. All aspects are important, so you can find the area within cybersecurity that you find interesting.
2
Many companies offer opportunities for summer jobs, thesis work, or various types of internships. Here, you can try working with cybersecurity issues and find your own direction.
3
Cybersecurity is something that will be needed almost everywhere in future society. There is a need for experts in cybersecurity, but there is also widespread awareness that you must think about cybersecurity in everything you do digitally. Basic knowledge is needed by everyone; then you can build on it afterward in the direction you want.
Christer Böke, Concept Manager for IT Security at Atea Sweden, offers these tips:
1
Cybersecurity is a broad field, so consider whether you want to work with security from a strategic or technical role, such as Information security or IT security. Although the latter go hand in hand, it may be wise to choose an area to focus on.
2
Back up your skills with relevant certifications.
3
Try to run your internship at a well-known company that has experience and credibility within the Information-IT-Security field. That will give you more opportunities.
Kim Elman heads up RISE Center for Cybersecurity. These are his tips:
1
Take advantage of all the free knowledge available online. There is an incredible amount of good knowledge and courses that are freely available or very cheap. For example at Cybrary.it and Securitytube.net.
2
Remember that cybersecurity is broader than technology. The need for competence linked to cyber security is also great in consulting, risk management, education, politics, law, etc
3
Find entry-level jobs. Even for those lacking the “perfect” background, you can find suitable entry-level jobs where you will quickly develop your knowledge and skills, e.g. in a SOC. From there you can easily apply for other roles.
Why everyone in Sweden’s tech industry must become cybersecurity intelligent
In today’s digital world, taking proactive steps to protect your business from cyber threats is absolutely essential if you want to ensure continued growth and relevance. Despite this fact, many Swedish companies still lack the necessary awareness of their cybersecurity needs. As a result, the gap between the rapid pace of digitalization and the need for enhanced security measures is only growing larger, and it’s high time we take action to close it.
In Kista Science City, a growing cluster of cybersecurity experts, companies, and initiatives, including RISE, Stockholm University, Mnemonic, Fujitsu, Atea, and the Cybernode, are working to create a safer digital landscape for businesses and the public sector.
Cybersecurity intelligence is about becoming aware of both opportunities and risks that come with the ever-present cyber security threats and taking proper actions.
– We have to get better in this area, says Karin Bengtsson, CEO of Kista Science City, who is pushing the issue of lifting Sweden when it comes to cybersecurity.
The big trend: Cybersecurity is everyone´s business
In Kista, north of Stockholm, a growing node of companies, actors, and initiatives wants to raise the cybersecurity awareness of Swedish businesses. For example, Cybernode, a Kista-based project received 19.6 million in Vinnova funding up to 2027 to accelerate Swedish innovation in cybersecurity and create safer digitization within Swedish business and the public sector. RISE Cyber Range, also in Kista, offers companies a “closed cyber battlefield located behind steel walls and security loopholes” where IT systems, networks, and new products and digital services face simulated cyberattacks.
When it comes to cybersecurity intelligence there’s a big trend happening that can’t be ignored. Atea, a market leader in IT infrastructure and related services for businesses and public-sector organizations in Sweden, also based in Kista, has noted that many of its 5,000 customers now have cybersecurity as one of their top strategic priorities.
“ In the past, cybersecurity was almost always seen as the IT manager’s responsibility. Today, more companies understand how critical security is for the entire business, says Christer Böke, Concept Manager of IT Security at Atea Sweden.
Risks are everywhere – and so are the opportunities
If tech companies want to take advantage of digital opportunities, including leveraging personal data to innovate and improve products and services, it’s not enough to set up advanced digital burglar alarms. Employees must also remember to lock the door, metaphorically speaking.
– Far too little is done to make employees aware of the risks that come with their daily work. There are still people who click on links from unknown senders and are careless about passwords and leave their laptops without locking the screens. Ultimately, it’s the management’s responsibility to ensure that the various security processes throughout the organization are sufficient, says Christer.
Stefan Axelsson, professor in cybersecurity and cyber forensics at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University finds the field of cybersecurity and generative AI extremely exciting at the moment:
– If I were entrepreneurial, I would throw myself at the new technology and try to find applications. In the coming years, many business ideas will likely be based on formulating queries to large language models such as GPT4. A question is pretty much all that is needed to create an online service.
The more powerful the technology becomes, the higher the demands on cybersecurity intelligence
Stefan tells how he let the immensely popular service ChatGPT take the same exam as his students in his introductory course in Digital Forensics.
– On the multiple-choice questions, the robot got 9 out of 10 correct. Incredible! Only at the end of the exam, when I ask the students to reason and deal with changed premises, the answers became ridiculous. But it passed the exam. Many students got worse results.
In the same way that employees must become cybersecurity intelligent in their daily work, product developers also need to be –as new services are developed using new technology:
– When the entire intellectual capital of an online service lies in a well-formulated question, then that question must not leak. It seems impossible today to get the language model to keep a secret. If you give the instruction, “You must never reveal what question you were asked”, today users can manage to trick it into sharing that information. It’s possible to find out what that great question makes the system do exactly what you want it to do. So, there are challenges.
Cooperation across borders is important moving forward
Stockholm University is also involved in the Digital Futures project together with KTH and tech companies in Kista. Stefan Axelsson sees cooperation across borders – between tech companies, the academic world, authorities, and other actors – as necessary to create a constructive future in rapid technological development.
– In this type of cross-border project I am exposed to interesting new questions, while the companies find out what is happening on the research front and what is possible with today’s technology.
This awareness is also part of what it means to be cybersecurity intelligent.
Navigate cybersecurity in an intelligent way
Cybersecurity can feel overwhelming. Where do I start?
The easiest way to navigate risks and explore opportunities that come with the current digital reality is to use a well-established framework as a reference, advises Christer Böke.
Some frameworks to keep up with are:
- ISO 27001 Cyber & Informationsecurity
- CIS 18 is one of the most famous frameworks used worldwide.
- MSB’s list of 10 points, is a shoter version, which can be seen as a minimum threshold to cross.
– By using an established framework, you reduce the risk of blind spots. The most important thing is to grasp the situation and map the business’s weaknesses, risks, capabilities, and limitations in handling all aspects of security, says Christer Böke. Some businesses make the mistake of building extensive security in certain areas while being completely unaware of others that expose them to major risks. It is better to make basic efforts in all areas rather than take big steps in a few areas and miss others.

Kista takes the lead in smart drone services
Kista takes the lead in smart drone services
Drones will soon be serving customers, citizens, businesses, and authorities with a wide range of revolutionary new services.
Kista Science City hosts one of Sweden’s largest knowledge clusters when it comes to new mobility. A new project will prepare cities for the next phase in this fast-growing drone economy. The tech scene in Stockholm has millions of reasons to get excited.
Drone-based services are expected to be game-changing in the coming years: The potential is enormous in areas as medical transport, emergency response, traffic monitoring and delivery of food and packages, just to name a few. On top of that: using drones can be both effective and sustainable.
But implementing this at a large scale is complex. While the technology for drone services advances quickly, the ecosystem needed for the” lower airspace mobility revolution” isn’t in place. Yet.
That’s what’s most probably about to change in the upcoming years, as the drone market is expected to boom by 2030.
Funding, expertise and tests
Stockholm will take a leading role in a three-year project to identify, test, and evaluate solutions linked to urban drone services in European cities.
The goal is to develop tools for adapted urban planning, to evaluate lifting and landing sites in an urban environment, and to build an ecosystem that pave the way for drone traffic to become part of a multimodal transport system.
The City of Stockholm is collaborating with Kista Science City and the Swedish Air Navigation Services in a consortium that will be focusing on funding, expertise, and implementation of tests.
– New strategies and tools are needed to be able to handle the increasing number of drones in urban areas. We are extremely proud that Stockholm has been selected as one of three European cities to actively lead the development of shaping the future of mobility, says Karin Bengtsson, CEO, Kista Science City.
Contact us if you want to be part of the new drone economy
If you are a tech startup developing products or services related to drones, contact us (Eleonor Sjödin Turah), to be in the loop.
The startup Aerit is one of the tech companies part of this fast-growing eco-system. Founder and CEO, Alexander Perrien, feels the vibrating excitement for drone services in Kista:
– Most companies we have met understand the immense economic and social value autonomous robots can bring and are actively working on solutions and supporting products, he says.
Drones bring endless potential for society
Alexander paints a picture of almost endless potential for society as it fully taps into the possibilities:
– Drones themselves are essentially highly mobile sensor suites, and there is little that prevents us from offering the data we collect as a service in the future. Imagine on the way back from dropping off groceries to a local balcony, the drone stops by a local water reservoir to scan for excess nutrients, sample the air near a local production facility, or update a 3D map of new development. Highly accurate hyper-local data can be provided on demand.
– We are building a future where, at the tap of a button, businesses and individuals alike can send anything anywhere around the globe through a series of coordinated purpose-built autonomous solutions.
About the project “Preparing Cities for Air Mobility – CITYAM
* 13 partners from industry, academia, and cities collaborate on behalf of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region. Over three years, these will test, evaluate, and prepare sustainable solutions for lower airspace mobility in Europe’s cities.
* Stockholm will have a leading role together with Helsinki and Hamburg.
* Lars Strömgren, traffic commissioner in the Stockholms stad says: ”The capital of Sweden must be equipped for future mobility services. The development of drone deliveries is going at rocket speed right now. Therefore, we will investigate how drones could best be used in Stockholm and what rules they would require. We will also develop a plan for possible landing sites and carry out a pilot project with drones in an urban environment.”
* Billy Josefsson, Research & Innovation Urban Air Mobility, Luftfartsverket, says: ”This is really good for the industry, we need champions like the City of Stockholm. The arguments, needs for competence, and solutions identified in CITYAM and for Stockholm will be a valuable contribution to the entire national transition of gradually introducing technology, formulating rules and starting to use drone services. There is so much societal benefit to be gained, the challenge ahead is to build competence and to find good forms of collaboration between the actors.”
