At Modvion, we believe in the power of collaboration to drive innovation, and the Join Sweden Tech Mingle at TECHARENA 2025 was a perfect testament to that. Co-hosted by Business Sweden and SISP – Swedish Incubators & Science Parks, this event gathered 400 leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers from Sweden’s thriving tech ecosystem. The evening was a dynamic blend of insight, innovation, and valuable networking, shaping the future of Swedish startups and scaleups.
Diving Into Sweden’s Investment Landscape
The evening began with an exclusive pre-launch of the upcoming ”State of VC in Sweden” report by Dealroom.co, presented by Marie Claire Maxwell (Business Sweden) and Anne Lidgard (Vinnova). This deep dive into Sweden’s investment trends provided a solid foundation for understanding the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for companies like Modvion that are pushing the boundaries of sustainable technology.
A Thought-Provoking Fireside Chat
A highlight of the evening was the engaging fireside chat featuring:
💡 Arba Kokalari (European Parliament)
💡 Gustav Nilsson (Modvion)
💡 Viviana Hermosilla (CMPC Ventures)
💡 Stina Lantz (SISP) – Moderator
The discussion centered around investment trends in Swedish startups and scaleups, shedding light on the increasing demand for sustainable and innovative solutions. As Modvion continues to pioneer wood-based wind turbine towers, we are encouraged by the growing interest in climate-tech investments and the shift toward a greener economy. It was an honor for Gustav Nilsson to represent Modvion in this insightful dialogue, emphasizing the importance of renewable energy innovations and the role of sustainable materials in the future of infrastructure.
Connections That Drive Change
Beyond the panels and presentations, the networking session was where ideas came to life. The energy in the room was electric, with stakeholders from across the ecosystem sharing insights, fostering collaborations, and sparking new ventures. These connections are invaluable for Modvion as we scale our technology and expand our partnerships to accelerate the transition to fossil-free energy solutions.
Looking Ahead
A huge thank you to Business Sweden, SISP, and Techarenan for creating a platform that not only celebrates Swedish innovation but also drives tangible change. Sweden’s position as a global tech leader is stronger than ever, and we at Modvion are proud to be part of this movement towards a more sustainable and innovative future.
