Sweden is one of the world's most globalized countries with a strong tradition of promoting open international trade and international contacts. In addition, a technologically advanced industry and the ability to innovate in many different areas, have made Swedish exports an important part of the country's economy.
In Made in Sweden (Business History Publishing, 2019) author and business historian Anders Johnson lists 130 successful Swedish innovations. The book covers products, companies and people - and also ideas and phenomena, such as the Swedish queuing system. Common is that they originated in Sweden but left imprints far beyond their own country's borders.
The foreword to Made in Sweden is written by His Royal Highness Prince Daniel and the book was launched during the Hannover Messe in Germany in April 2019. The book is only available in English.
