Now we are TechSverige
In October last year, the Board of IT&Telecomföretagen decided on a new business strategy for the association with a view to 2025, which is about who we want to be and where we want to be in 2025 - how we create the best possible benefit for our member companies. The business strategy also includes a new vision: "A world-leading tech sector makes Sweden reach its full potential".
As part of the work on the new operational strategy, the issue of the association's name has been raised. Our name has served the association well, but given how the industry has developed in recent years and given our new business strategy, the Board saw the need for a revision of the name. This is also something that has been confirmed by our members when we asked how you see our name. The answers are clear: the old name - IT&Telekomföretagen - has qualities such as clarity and familiarity, but it is also perceived as dated.
Against this background, the Board instructed the Secretariat to launch a so-called name project with the aim of presenting a proposal for a new association name at the annual meeting on May 6.
It has been a solid but resource-efficient process characterized by broad dialogue and anchoring with member companies and other key stakeholders. A process that finally landed in a proposal for a new association name and which our Board and our members at the annual meeting supported. Since then, intensive work has been underway in the office to prepare for the name change, and on October 21, the formal change took place. We are TechSverige!
We hope and believe that our new name will better reflect all the member companies we already represent, while creating good conditions for us to grow and include more companies to be part of us. We want to be the obvious organization that brings together all types of tech companies in Sweden, regardless of sub-industry, and with our new name we think we are wearing the right suit for the mission.
Together we are TechSverige!
