CelluXtreme is featured in a forthcoming article in Dagens Industri about how Sweden’s defence investments can strengthen national security while also driving innovation, competitiveness and industrial growth.
A strategic opportunity for Sweden
Sweden is entering a period of major defence investment. At CelluXtreme, we see an opportunity to build on an already world-class industrial base, accelerate the next generation of technologies and strengthen Swedish innovation ecosystems.
To capture this potential, collaboration between established industry, deeptech companies, academia and the public sector must be matched by risk-willing and long-term capital. This enables innovation companies to develop, validate and scale new solutions — creating value and strengthening the foundation for future industry. The Gripen programme shows what is possible. According to Entreprenörskapsforum, every 1 SEK invested has generated 2-4 SEK in return for Sweden.
Turning investments into long-term innovation capacity
Timing is decisive.
Startups need early access to test environments, system expertise and demanding first markets. That provides both technology proof and market proof — essential to reduce risk and attract investment for innovation scaling.
says Anna Wiberg, CEO and co-founder of CelluXtreme.
For CelluXtreme, the message is clear: we have the technology to develop high-performance and multifunctional composite materials for demanding applications in a sustainable and resilient supply chain. With the right ecosystem, Sweden’s defence investments can strengthen demand for innovation and help turn promising technologies into scalable industrial solutions.
