Swedish society is often described as one that encourages individualism, creativity and cooperation. Team work and cooperation is crucial and highly valued at any Swedish company, university and organisation.
There are plenty of creative networking solutions that merge for example university research with start-up companies and established technology conglomerates. THINGS® is a co-working space at the campus of KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Hardware-oriented start-ups that work in areas like wearable technology and smart grid technologies gain access to prototyping and testing capabilities.
