Accelerating Sweden’s Space Economy
Create and grow Space Startups and SMEs by connecting capital, industry, and public stakeholders.
Our Mission
Space Sweden’s vision is for Sweden to become one of Europe’s leading and most innovative nations in the space economy.
Founded by four leading deep-tech and space incubators, our mission is to create and connect high-potential startups and SMEs with corporates, investors, and government & defence stakeholders to transform cutting-edge ideas and technologies into scalable, deployable, and investable businesses. We aim to facilitate and ensure that capital, demand, policy, and innovation meet and create synergies. All with the goal of making Sweden a fast-growing and commercially competitive space nation.
Our ultimate ambition is to build the highest concentration of space unicorns per capita in the world within the next decade.
Why Space Sweden?
Sweden has a proven track record of building globally competitive companies. From Neo4j, Spotify, Klarna and the new generation of AI and tech innovators, Sweden knows how to create and scale unicorns. This culture of innovation, combined with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, continues to produce ambitious founders ready to solve importance challenges and tackle global markets.
The country also has a long tradition of delivering world-class, cost-effective advanced systems, e.g. the Saab Gripen fighter jet, a globally respected platform known for its high performance, technological sophistication, and operational efficiency. This ability to combine cutting-edge engineering with pragmatic, scalable design is a hallmark of Swedish industry.
Sweden offers deep pools of engineering talent and technical competence, supported by world-class universities and space research institutions. With assets such as Esrange Space Center and a long-standing heritage in advanced industry, internet infrastructure, aerospace and defence, Sweden has the infrastructure and expertise required to lead in the space economy.
Sweden also benefits from a mature and world-class venture capital ecosystem, an efficient, trusted and transparent legal system, and a strong culture of international business, making it an ideal environment for space startups and SMEs to scale globally.
