Sting Projects
Because growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum
Through Sting Projects, we join forces with sharp, forward-thinking partners across the Swedish innovation ecosystem to build what’s missing, fix what’s broken, and accelerate what works. Together, we tackle the bigger questions: how do we get more research out of the lab and into the world? How do we support underrepresented founders? How do we make Sweden the best place to start and grow an impact-driven tech company?
