When Helsingborg hosted the NATO meeting, international attention turned to the city. It was also here that Sweden and the United States signed the Technology Prosperity Deal – an agreement designed to strengthen cooperation, innovation and business opportunities within some of the most important technology fields of the future.
As part of Helsingborg Tech Week, the City of Helsingborg brings together businesses, researchers and decision-makers to explore how international technology partnerships can help strengthen competitiveness, innovation and growth in the Helsingborg region.
With a focus on areas such as AI, space technology and advanced manufacturing, we will discuss the opportunities emerging for businesses in a time of rapid technological development.
During the afternoon, you will meet representatives from the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, academia and leading companies for conversations on how AI, space technology, advanced manufacturing and international collaboration can be turned into innovation, investment and growth.
