25 years of innovation - the companies contributing to the science park
Science Park Skövde has over a quarter of a century grown from an office and one person, to eight properties filled with around 80 companies and nearly 1100 employees. Now, as the science park celebrates its 25th anniversary, we take the opportunity to, in a series of articles, celebrate the companies that are contributing to building our shared innovation environment!
Throughout the journey, Science Park Skövde has had a clear overarching goal, to be a place, a focal point for people and companies who want to contribute with innovation, development, and growth in Skaraborg's business community. It is therefore time to present the companies who, through their employees every day, tirelessly and perseveringly, contribute to sustainable solutions, digital services, and entertainment.
