Thales has been involved in Swedish projects since 1998, and we have grown into the company we are today through several important acquisitions. In 2019, we acquired Gemalto AB and AB Svenska Pass, and grew from 4 to 130 employees in the region. Our formal regional office is in Stockholm, with one more office in Gothenburg.
In Sweden, we provide innovative solutions and advanced technologies in Identity & Biometric Solutions, Cloud Protection & Licensing, Analytics & IoT Solutions, Banking & Payment Services, Defence Mission Systems and Air Traffic Management. Today, Thales Sweden employs more than 120 people, and is part of a hub of nine countries in Northern Europe.
Thales’ strategy is to boost its local presence by establishing local partnerships. In Sweden, we already have a significant number of collaborations with local subcontractors and partners and will, as new contracts arrive, continue to reach out to local expertise.
We recognize the high penetration of digital use and development in the Swedish market, and will continue to establish long-term cooperation with customers and partners. The markets we aim to address lies within digital security, transportation, radar systems, aviation safety and defence technology. The Nordic and Baltic cooperation within Thales Group also brings high levels of modernisation and increase capabilities for us and our partners.
