We work across disciplines in marine technology areas that are crucial for Sweden’s security, growth, and innovation power. Our initiatives bring together academia, industry, and society – and all our areas are open to new collaborations.
Sweden’s marine defense capability is entering a new era, where technology, research, and innovation must interact to meet future requirements.
Challenge / Opportunity:
The strategic importance of the oceans is rapidly increasing. This demands robust technical solutions, secure communication, and advanced autonomy.
There are great opportunities for new collaborations between defense, industry, and academia.
What MTC does:
MTC acts as a link between research, companies, and defense. We drive innovation projects, facilitate collaborations, and support the development of next-generation marine technology and defense systems.
We are the arena where ideas are tested, technologies are verified, and future solutions emerge.

What MTC does:
We create conditions for research and innovation in everything from autonomous systems to sustainable energy technology.
Our test beds, networks, and projects ensure that ideas can be quickly tested, verified, and scaled.
Explore our research projects
At MTC, applied research in marine technology is conducted by researchers at Blekinge Institute of Technology.
The projects have a strong foundation in real needs and are driven in close collaboration with industry and the public sector – focusing on developing solutions that are tested, evaluated, and implemented in practice.
Behind every technical solution are dedicated people with expertise, curiosity, and drive. Researchers at BTH are a central part of MTC and combine academic excellence with practical application – often in close collaboration with industry and society.
Whether you represent defense, industry, academia, or the public sector – MTC is the platform where ideas become reality.
Together we can strengthen Sweden’s marine technology competence and innovation power.
