Tech

A growing tech sector

Tech is one of Helsingborg’s most dynamic sectors, with strong growth potential. The city brings together established companies and innovative start-ups in an ecosystem where collaboration drives rapid innovation.

The sector has grown significantly. Since 2010, turnover has increased by 275% to SEK 3.3 billion, while employment has risen by 191%. These figures compare well nationally and highlight strong export capability.

Strategic expertise

As AI reshapes the labour market and changes how companies operate, new opportunities are emerging for sectors that can apply the technology effectively. This makes Helsingborg’s strong tech base and growing concentration of expertise even more strategically important.

As well, demand for digital maturity is increasing across both the private and public sectors, making tech a core driver of innovation, transition and competitiveness across the wider economy. Data-driven innovation plays a central role, supporting Helsingborg’s traditionally strong industries—logistics, commerce, manufacturing, environmental technology and tourism—as they adapt to both digital and green transitions and seek new, smarter solutions.

Organisations such as Hetch, Helsingborg Tech Hub, play a key role by giving start-ups access to networks, capital and tools for growth.

A living tech lab

Helsingborg offers an open, growing and internationally oriented tech ecosystem, with strong innovation capacity, close collaboration through Helsingborg Innovation District, and clear opportunities to build and scale new businesses.
