Reportage: Stockholm entwickelt sich zum Zentrum von Europas Start-up-Szene
Gründungen wie Lovable und Legora folgen auf Klarna und Spotify. Die schwedische Hauptstadt zeigt, wie junge Unternehmen eine ganze Metropole beleben. Nordische Zurückhaltung ist passé.
Stockholm has emerged as a major hub for Europe's startup scene, attracting significant investment and talent. Its culture of "vibe-coding," where software developers use AI to generate code through natural language, has become a defining characteristic. Major players like Lovable, Legora, and Spotify have played a crucial role in positioning the city as a top destination for tech innovation in Europe.
The Swedish capital continues to attract more venture capital than any other EU city, with over $13 billion in funding since 2023. The success of Swedish startups like Klarna and Spotify has fueled this growth, with 15 such companies now operating in the country. The presence of a robust financial infrastructure, including the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange, also enables Swedish companies to expand globally.
The country's long-standing tradition of supporting entrepreneurs and fostering a tech-savvy population has contributed to its consistent success in producing high-impact startups.
