Hotspot for innovation
Welcome to the Scandinavian powerhouse of innovation
Here we have the knowledge, capabilities, and environments to develop sustainable solutions for tomorrow. Join us and elevate your business in Gothenburg, the Nordic capital of getting things done.
A driving force for Swedish innovation
Gothenburg is one of Sweden's most important industrial regions and a prominent knowledge centre. We are a leading R&D region, accounting for a staggering 35% of Sweden’s private sector investments, which is more than anywhere else in the country. We are an innovation leader in Europe (EU, 2023) and one of the top science and technology clusters in the world in terms of patents and publications per capita (GII, 2024).
Here we have leading universities, research institutes, science parks, many testbeds and open innovation environments, not to mention a long tradition of private and public partnerships. These provide an excellent foundation for the large companies and cutting-edge smaller firms who are driving the green and digital transition from Gothenburg.
