VIEW THE FULL AGENDA
Strengthening Defence Capability Through Partnerships
The fastest way to build new Swedish defence capability is rarely to start from scratch. At a time when demand is high and time is limited, Sweden needs to build on what already works and adapt proven solutions to current requirements. Partnerships and proven solutions enable us to move faster while reducing risk.
“We believe in the power of partnerships between multiple stakeholders. By combining expertise and resources, we can increase both the speed and quality of deliveries – two critical factors in strengthening defence capability in both the short and long term.”
– Martin Frisk, Deputy CEO, Svekon
Participating in the conference provides an opportunity to share experiences from our work in the defence industry and discuss how companies with different expertise and capabilities can work together to strengthen Sweden’s defence capability.
Industry’s Role in Scaling Up Sweden’s Defence Capability 2026 will take place on 24 September at Bygget in Stockholm.
