One of the most striking features of Stockholm’s tech scene is its collaborative spirit. The city is full of coworking spaces and innovation hubs where startups and established companies work side by side, sharing knowledge and resources. This spirit of cooperation is a key driver of Stockholm’s status as a global tech hub.
