SMÅLAND!
A region in Sweden, unique for its industrial and entrepreneurial drive?
Småland.
A strong manufacturing industry region on the top of the global lists that rank cost-effective production.
This is achieved through stimulating a continuous strive for advanced robotics and reconfigurable systems, long experience and a strong know-how in sectors such as metals, wood and polymer. Collaboration, oh well, a bit of an envy spirit too, is ensuring a business-friendly environment.
