Embedl joins Svenskt Näringsliv's seminar on defense investments as a driver for growth and innovation
Sweden is set to invest 300 billion SEK in national defense, and the question isn't just how to spend it, but how to make it count beyond the military.
"How do we ensure these investments not only strengthen our defense capability, but also contribute to long-term innovation, competitiveness, and growth?"
We're proud to be part of the conversation. Embedl's COO, Ola Tiverman, will join the panel discussion "How innovative ecosystems are built in practice" at Svenskt Näringsliv's upcoming seminar during Tillväxtveckan.
The seminar brings together voices from industry, academia, and policy to explore how Sweden can turn record-level defense spending into a genuine engine of innovation, drawing on concrete research, real collaboration stories, and lessons from programs.
The panel Ola is joining.

Together, the panelists will share concrete examples from their own work spanning defense, deep tech, and academia, spotlighting the key enablers and real-world barriers to building successful innovation ecosystems.
The broader seminar also features a new research report from Entreprenörskapsforum, parliamentary representatives, and senior leaders from Saab, Linköping University, and Svenskt Näringsliv, all exploring how high-tech defense investment can generate wider societal and economic impact through competence building, technology spillovers, and innovation ecosystems.
Both physical and digital participation are available. Followed by lunch from 12:00.
We look forward to contributing to this important conversation about how Sweden can build on its defense investments to create long-term value for the entire innovation ecosystem. See you there.
