Science Parks in Gothenburg

Gothenburg’s two science parks are important components of the region’s innovation ecosystem. They offer cooperation-friendly environments perfect for initiating testbeds and collaborations, among other things.

Lindholmen Science Park

Driving innovation in transport, ICT, and media

Lindholmen Science Park embodies a dynamic and creative environment, serving as a catalyst for collaboration across geographical boundaries. At the forefront of this arena are several pioneering development projects, each dedicated to shaping the future of mobility for both people and goods. Leveraging societal challenges and a shared thirst for new knowledge, Lindholmen accelerates opportunities to craft innovative solutions, driving long-term growth and enhancing Sweden's capacity for innovation.

A neutral development environment is provided where the business community, academia, and society together can conduct major research and development projects. For 20 years, Lindholmen Science Park has been involved in successful collaborations and the creation of new knowledge. The area has become the most knowledge-intensive and expansive in Gothenburg. Around 375 companies are located in the area, and some 25,000 people spend time there every day – students, researchers, residents, entrepreneurs, employees, hotel guests, and curious visitors. The figure is expected to double over the next five years.
