Promobilia

Stiftelsen Promobilia is a Swedish foundation dedicated to promoting the development of technical aids and rehabilitation tools for individuals with physical disabilities. Established in 1966 by Per Uddén, the founder of the power wheelchair company Permobil, the foundation provides financial support for scientific research and innovation in medical technology. Its primary mission is to enhance the independence and quality of life for people with restricted mobility by funding projects that bridge the gap between clinical needs and technological solutions. The organization supports a wide range of initiatives, including robotics, prosthetics, and assistive software, primarily within the Nordic region. Promobilia operates as a key funding body rather than a direct product developer, facilitating advancements in rehabilitation medicine and engineering.
