The perfect location

The Pioneering Innovations
Linköping has, if we may say so ourselves, a fantastic business community. We have a strong culture of innovation built on collaboration. We have a large industry breadth and technical expertise. And we have one of the world’s leading universities. Perhaps this is precisely why so many groundbreaking innovations have actually originated here – in the city of the future, Linköping. Furthermore, Linköping has been designated by the EU as one of Europe’s most innovative cities.
The life-friendly city
Linköping is a safe, welcoming, and life-friendly place. Here, young and old meet, newcomers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and not least our 36,000 students. In Linköping, people, their leisure interests, and creativity have room to develop. We could talk endlessly about all that our city has to offer. Here, there are all the opportunities that characterize a modern big city, with a rich and varied selection for culture enthusiasts, families with children, outdoor people, and those who like to dance through the night and perhaps also want to explore the latest in fashion or home design after meeting friends at a café for a Sunday brunch. But this is just the beginning.
