Christmas Calendar 2020:
Made in Sweden

Do not miss this year’s Christmas calendar on BizStories! There we tell about 24 successful Swedish innovations that have left their mark far beyond Sweden’s borders.

Sweden is one of the world’s most globalized countries with a strong tradition of promoting open international trade and other international contacts. In addition, a technologically advanced industry, and the ability to innovate in many different areas, have contributed to Swedish exports of goods and services becoming an important part of the country’s economy.

In this year’s Christmas calendar, we tell about successful Swedish innovations. It is a history about products, companies and people – but also about ideas and phenomena, such as the Swedish queuing system. What they have in common is that they have their origins in Sweden but have left their mark far beyond their own country’s borders.

The calendar is based on the book Made in Sweden, written by Anders Johnson (Business History Publishing, 2019).
