Ung Svensk Form (Young Swedish Design) is one of Sweden’s most important platforms for young designers and creators. But how can we take the next step and become a movement that not only shapes the future of design but also improves the conditions for young professionals in the industry? By combining substantial scholarships with a touring exhibition, Ung Svensk Form highlights talents and creates connections between design, business, and society.
At the same time, it is crucial to address the challenges faced by young designers—such as precarious working conditions, limited funding, and a lack of long-term support. How can we, with Ung Svensk Form as a foundation, elevate young designers internationally, strengthen collaborations with the business sector, and drive sustainable innovation? How do we build an ecosystem where young creatives receive the support they need to meet future demands while shaping a sustainable world?

Through digitalization, design incubators, and global partnerships, Ung Svensk Form can become a catalyst for new ideas and solutions.
