MASSIV+ secures significant funding to accelerate climate data infrastructure

We've secured 39.3 MSEK in total funding — 19.6 MSEK from Vinnova — to build practical data infrastructure for climate action across industrial value chains. The project runs from November 2025 to November 2028. A significant moment for us, and for everyone who's been part of this since 2022.

The insight we keep coming back to

Companies are pouring resources into increasingly sophisticated Scope 3 estimates. But a better estimate is still an estimate. The fundamental problem — that real supplier data doesn't flow across value chains — remains unsolved.

The core idea behind MASSIV+ is simple: my Scope 3 is your Scope 1 and 2. When every actor can measure and share their own emissions in a standardized way, the whole chain finally gets a credible foundation for decisions and real action.

What we've learned from Volvo Cars

Volvo Cars set climate targets in 2018, but emissions from their 200 affected sites kept rising. When they started collecting energy data systematically in 2021, they halved their greenhouse gas emissions in a single year. Not from better estimates — from better data.

The suppliers in Scope 3 today face the exact same problem, just across thousands of companies instead of one.

What we're building

A federated data infrastructure built on IDS/Gaia-X principles, combined with an industry-validated standard and AI guidance for SMEs. Each company keeps control of its own data but can share it securely and in a standardized way. Our target: an SME should be able to connect and start sharing in under 15 minutes.

The consortium spans the whole picture — SKF, Sandvik, Alfa Laval, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Preem, IKEA and others on the demand side; Nitator, Texla, Heléns Rör and HAVD Group as supplier SMEs; EY, Microsoft, Iconsof and the University of Gothenburg on technology and research; Nordea representing finance; and GU Ventures coordinating.
