Swedish companies are demonstrating resilience and strategic growth through innovation and international expansion. Humlegården, a Swedish real estate company, has introduced Origo, a novel office concept designed to merge hospitality and functionality. Located in Solna and Sundbyberg, Origo aims to provide an engaging and efficient workspace environment. Jens Folkesson, Head of Real Estate and Leasing at Humlegården, explained that the concept draws inspiration from the hotel industry, with interior design handled by Spik Studios, renowned for their work on hotels such as Steam Hotel and Ellery Beach House. According to CEO Daniel Berg Stocks, Origo addresses the modern company's need for inspiring and efficient workspaces, offering spaces ranging from 220 to 11,000 square meters. In a separate development, Nybergs Svets, a steel subcontractor based in Alingsås, has secured its first export order outside of the Nordic region. Faced with a slowdown in the Swedish construction sector, the company will supply 1,500 tons of steel structures for a new 230-bed hospital in New Amsterdam, Guyana. CEO Patrik Wallin views this export venture as a logical step in the company's expansion strategy. Nybergs Svets will provide pillars and beams for the state-of-the-art general hospital, which will include modern operating rooms and advanced medical facilities. This order was facilitated by an advance payment from the builder and a guarantee from the Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN). The initial inquiry originated from Elof Hansson International AB, now a part of the Serneke International Group. This milestone represents a significant expansion for Nybergs Svets, which was established in 1914 and currently employs nearly 50 individuals. These recent events exemplify how Swedish companies are proactively responding to market dynamics through innovative solutions and global diversification efforts.
