Startups ready to engage with industry giants?
Ignite Sweden hosts an in-person matchmaking session on October 9 in Södertälje, offering an excellent opportunity for Swedish startups to explore potential business collaborations with top corporations – including Ericsson, Hägglunds, Bofors, and SAAB.
