Our sponsors

Creating security is about more than just insurance. For LF Uppsala, it’s about building a society where people thrive — in everyday life, in community, and in growth. That’s why they are proud to be the main sponsor of Allt ljus på Uppsala 2025.

The festival brings together people of all ages from across the county to share an experience in the darkest time of the year. When the light installations are lit, the city awakens — sparking conversations, new perspectives, and unexpected encounters. This is exactly what LF Uppsala wants to contribute to: a place where more people are seen, feel seen, and meet each other — both in traffic and as fellow human beings.

This year’s theme, The Promise of Change, closely reflects LF Uppsala’s own mission. Change can feel both hopeful and challenging, which is why they believe in meeting it with care and long-term thinking — by investing in what strengthens people’s lives: health, safety, and togetherness.

As a customer-owned company, LF Uppsala gives value back to its owners — the residents of Uppsala County. They do this through concrete initiatives in children’s and youth sports, culture, mental health, and road safety. By supporting Allt ljus på Uppsala, they reach even more people, raise awareness about being visible in the dark, and inspire conversations about safety in a city that is constantly evolving.

For LF Uppsala, the light festival is a promise — of brightness in November, of new encounters, and of an Uppsala that grows a little safer and a little kinder every year. One step at a time.

District heating from Vattenfall has warmed Uppsala for decades. It moves quietly through the city, bringing life to homes, schools, and workplaces in a way that is safe, sustainable, and energy-efficient. But district heating is about more than just technology and energy. It’s about something greater — the idea that we share something valuable with one another, united by the wish to contribute to a common good.

That’s why Vattenfall has chosen to be the main sponsor of Allt ljus på Uppsala 2025. The festival’s theme, The Promise of Change, aligns closely with their own mission: to continuously develop the energy systems of the future, reduce climate impact, and make sustainable choices possible for more people. Change is not only a technical matter — it’s a human one. Like the light installations themselves, Vattenfall seeks to inspire reflection on how we can work together toward transformation, connection, and a fossil-free society.

During the festival, you’ll find Vattenfall’s warming lodge in Odinslund — a place to sit down, meet, and pause for a moment. Come and talk about warmth: the kind that heats our buildings, but also the kind that brings us closer together. How can energy become a force for change — in our city, in our society, and in our lives? Step into the warmth.

For over 400 years, Uppsala Akademiförvaltning has nurtured and developed values that shape the future. The light installation Fluxit invites visitors to gather around a modern-day campfire – a place for conversation, reflection, and togetherness, where change can take root.

Uppsala University and Akademiska Hus bring research closer to the city. Geist draws inspiration from neutrinos – the elusive particles of the universe – reminding visitors that knowledge and change often emerge in invisible encounters.

Atrium Ljungberg creates spaces where life can flourish. Imagine showcases children’s dreams of a future Uppsala through vibrant projections. The installation serves as a reminder that every transformation begins small – with an idea, a thought, a drawing made with colored pencils.

Bolander & Co embodies trust and reassurance – values that become especially visible in the light installation Far Away. The piece only lights up when someone approaches, serving as a reminder that true security doesn’t arise from a distance, but in the connection between people.

Bonnier Fastigheter believes in places that bring people together and inspire hope for the future. Dreamcatcher is a tribute to our shared dreams – threads woven together in light and motion, symbolising the power of what we create together.

Castellum invests in places where people can grow, evolve, and connect. The light installation Hexx reflects the inner transformation that takes place step by step. A reminder that change isn’t always visible on the outside – but is constantly unfolding within us.

Cytiva lights up the future with science and curiosity. Through the light works Pixel Planet and Helicoled, the company aims to inspire children and young people to embrace the joy of discovery. Change often begins with a simple question – and with play, imagination, and research, tomorrow’s solutions can take shape.

Kulturlyftet is an initiative from Uppsala Municipality that makes Our Beating Heart possible – a heart of light echoing the rhythm of the city. The initiative builds on the ongoing work with culture-driven urban development, highlighting culture as a force for sustainable change.

Sh bygg, sten och anläggning and Uppsala Stadsmission are working together for a more humane Uppsala. L’Envol captures the moment something takes flight – a symbol of hope and change in everyday life, which can at times feel fragile. Together, they aim to help more people find a safe place to land.

Thermo Fisher pushes boundaries to unlock new insights. In Barriere, obstacles that first appear insurmountable are revealed to open through human interaction. A light installation that reflects the essence of research: every barrier holds the potential for possibility.

How do you want your city to feel in 20 years? Visit Royal Sky during the festival and share your vision. One word. One feeling. One thought about what’s to come.

Uppsala Vatten works to purify, recycle, and preserve our most vital resource. The light installation Aj vana be visualises one person’s monthly water consumption – a reminder that change is possible, drop by drop, habit by habit.

The Bertil and Britt Svensson Foundation for Lighting Technology is an important partner of Allt ljus på Uppsala. The foundation works to promote research, education, and development in lighting technology – a field that greatly influences how we experience our cities and shared spaces.
Through its support for the festival, light is highlighted as science, technology, and art. It’s not only about illuminating the darkness, but also about creating environments that inspire, foster safety, and evoke emotion. This year’s theme, The Promise of Change, makes this especially clear: light can transform a place, open new perspectives, and show the way forward.

Thanks to the foundation’s commitment, Allt ljus på Uppsala can continue to grow and serve as a platform where innovation meets experience – inviting the public to discover how light itself can become a force for change.

Cube of Art is a digital art museum in Uppsala focused on interactivity and AI. Here, visitors encounter art that is constantly evolving — and that they themselves help create. During Allt ljus på Uppsala, the company presents its own light installation at its venue, where creativity and technology merge to illuminate the art experience of the future.

Lindvalls Kaffe offers warmth in Odinslund. Here, free coffee is served – a simple gesture of care that can mean more than just a cup. Visitors are encouraged to make a donation to Uppsala Stadsmission instead, helping to make change possible, one small act at a time.

MLT is the logistics partner for Allt ljus på Uppsala.
Change happens not only in what we see, but also behind the scenes. Every light installation begins as an idea, but it only becomes reality when precision meets delivery — and that’s where MLT plays a vital role.
With their expertise and attention to detail, they ensure that the festival’s visions move seamlessly from the drawing board to the city’s streets and squares. In their hands, transformation becomes possible — reliable, efficient, and with a true sense of care for every detail.

Scandic is the festival’s hotel partner – a warm meeting place as the city lights up. Just like the light, Scandic aims to foster a sense of safety and belonging. For the company, every encounter is more than a temporary stop – it’s part of something greater.

Change isn’t something that happens only on construction sites or in blueprints of future neighborhoods. It unfolds every day — in our lives and in the spaces we share. For Vasakronan, change is about more than building new or managing what already exists. It’s about creating environments where people can grow, connect, and feel a sense of belonging.

In the light of Allt ljus på Uppsala, this becomes especially clear. When a street, a façade, or a square is transformed by light art, it serves as a reminder that places are always in motion — and that their meaning is shaped by the people who fill them with life.

Vasakronan wants to be part of that change. Not by dictating the future, but by creating the conditions that allow it to take shape — sustainably, humanly, and vibrantly. In that lies a promise: that the city can always be more than we imagine, if only we dare to see it in a new light.
