Technology Industries of Sweden (Teknikföretagen)
About
eknikföretagen (Technology Industries of Sweden) is the primary representative for Swedish industry. In total, our 4,400 member companies constitute one third of Sweden’s exports. Our mission is to strengthen the competitiveness of member companies.
In collaboration with our member companies, the Association builds upon Sweden’s historical roots as a powerful innovative and engineering nation. New technology, new business models will give us the tools with which to tackle the greatest challenges of our time. The Swedish engineering industry has a leading role in such developments. We strengthen competitiveness for our member companies in three main ways:
Firstly, by customising collective agreements and providing consultation and training, primarily in labour legislation and business law. Secondly, by influencing economic policy issues, in both Sweden and the EU, aiming to promote innovation and business development. This involves, for example, the conditions for education and research, in addition to attracting talented future candidates for engineering and technological educations. Thirdly, by providing our member companies with qualified financial analysis and drive opinion formation on financial issues.
Our member companies comprise both major, renowned, global corporations such as Ericsson, Scania, AFRY, ABB and Volvo, and a high number of other companies of all sizes down to the smallest companies.
