Tech industry as a growth engine in Kronoberg
Welcome to a lunch seminar with Växjö Linnaeus Science Park and TechSverige on the importance of the industry for innovation and growth in Kronoberg and Sweden.
In spring 2021, TechSverige released a comprehensive report showing that the tech industry has established itself as a new basic industry in the Swedish economy. Technology and technical solutions have become a prerequisite for everything from social services and entrepreneurship to how we live our lives. Digitalization is a fact and in Kronoberg County alone, thousands of people are employed in tech.
During the lunch seminar, we will share national and regional statistics and hear reflections from regional stakeholders. Together, we will identify success factors, challenges and future investments for the industry to grow and contribute to a continued strong region.
You are welcome to join the conversation!
