Unorthodox Ventures
We have long engineering traditions in Skåne. We have good corporation between the public, the private and the education sectors. It allows us to come up with ideas but also has the structure to bring them up into viable companies. The Skåne soil is good for creativity. As Swedes, maybe we are slightly humble. We feel a bit like a well-kept secret and we'd love more investors to discover us.
