Skellefteå, the northern Swedish city that’s home to the struggling electric battery factory Northvolt Ett, has launched a new project designed to attract fresh global startups and scale-ups to the region.
The riverside city of Skellefteå, home to just 78,00 residents, has been a magnet for top global talent since it was selected as the location for Northvolt’s first gigafactory in 2017.
But since Northvolt issued redundancy notices for around 1000 employees last year, there have been fears of a knock-on effect on industry and tech growth in the region.
