Felicia Hökars

Felicia most recently came from Sweco, where she worked as a consultant in Intelligent Transport Systems with a focus on project management in projects linked to digitization of the road transport system. She also has experience of the EU project NordicWay, a project where different services for connected vehicles are tested and evaluated.

Within CLOSER, Felicia will mainly work with projects linked to Geofencing. One of these is Smart Urban Traffic Zones, which is about demonstrating and setting the basic conditions for smart zones in the city. She will also be part of the Initiative for the Future sustainable e-commerce initiative, where she will be the responsible project manager for the project E-comstrat, a new initiative with the objective of investigating the possibility of potential for how delivery data can be used for, for example, groupage in the city.

Felicia has an engineering degree in Systems in Technology and Society with a focus on IT from Uppsala University. The education focuses on systems perspectives and is not only about how technology is constructed and works, but also the interplay between technology development / technology use and society at large, and their impact on each other.

For Felicia, sustainability and digitalisation initiatives drives her and she is passionate about smart solutions that contribute to a safer, more equal and environmentally friendly society!
