?? Innovation Knows No Borders Politics builds walls. Markets break them down. At #Transatlantic Day this week with SACC-USA (Swedish-American Chambers of Commerce), one thing was clear: While politics shifts, the thirst for innovation and new technology that solves problems stays constant. And those who collaborate – win. ???? The U.S. is open for business. ?? Strong partnerships beat isolation. ?? Innovation moves faster than politics. These were key insights from Karin Hammar, CEO of SACC, who highlighted how much is happening at the state level – regardless of federal policy shifts. #Sweden, a nation of just 11 million, has fostered both global tech successes and world-leading industries. How? ?? Triple Helix – where universities, industry & government collaborate. ?? Tuition-free university education = a powerhouse of talent. ?? An innovation-driven mindset that transforms ideas into impact. We admire the U.S. can-do attitude. But maybe there’s something to learn from Sweden’s collaborative and innovation-driven model too? Because in the end – market forces, talent, and innovation will always outpace politics. Do you agree? Chalmers University of Technology #ChalmersskaHuset #G?teborg #WestSweden

Linnéa Kornehed Falck, co-founder of Einride, returned to where it all began to share how a simple idea grew into one of Sweden’s first impact unicorns. She urged us to think bigger about scaling across borders, forging transparent investor relationships, and distribute impact across and customized to different markets. With insights from SACC-USA (Swedish-American Chambers of Commerce)’s Johan Marcus and Karin Hammar, we also explored the current geopolitical angles of global expansion and what it takes to build a sustainable network across the pond. A huge thank you to everyone who joined, asked the tough questions, and made the evening count. And a special shout-out to Linnéa for taking the time to come back—and give back.
