A tech agenda for Sweden
A tech agenda for Sweden with 37 policy proposals in ten different areas


"To all politicians and decision-makers, I have a clear message: you are not alone, the tech industry is ready and willing to contribute so that Sweden can reach its full potential."
Sweden should be a world-leading technology nation
Sweden has so much to gain from being a world leader in digital development. Digitization is of fundamental importance for Sweden's economic growth, for productivity and innovation in the entire business sector and in all public activities, and for sustainable social development. Tech is a new Swedish basic industry, which accounts for many of the new jobs. Its contribution to GDP is almost as large as the sum of the traditional basic industries.
However, we cannot be complacent and live on yesterday's investments or victories. When Sweden is compared to other countries with similar conditions, we are doing well - but we are losing momentum. Our previous advantage and digital competitiveness are diminishing as other countries develop much faster than we do.
To strengthen Sweden as a world-leading tech nation, we present a tech agenda for Sweden with 37 policy proposals in ten different areas. It is our hope that with this report we can help to create greater political commitment, which in turn results in a more ambitious tech policy, ahead of the 2022 election and during the next term of office.
