Where Sweden should digitalise next.

A living list of concrete sectors and problems where thoughtful digital products could genuinely move the needle — not another AI wrapper, but real infrastructure for the Swedish everyday.

HealthcareAmbitious

Regional healthcare journals that actually talk to each other

The problem

Sweden has 21 regions running different journal systems (Cosmic, Take Care, Melior…). Referrals still get faxed. Patients repeat their history at every visit.

Opportunity

Interoperability layers, FHIR-based patient-owned records, or narrow point solutions per specialty (e.g. dermatology referrals, physio triage).

Elderly care staffing and documentation

The problem

Municipalities are drowning in paper scheduling, double-documentation, and lack of visibility for pårørende. Staff burnout is at record highs.

Opportunity

Voice-first documentation, family-facing status apps, and smarter shift optimisation tuned to Swedish kollektivavtal rules.

TempusJolivMunicipal procurement waves 2025
ConstructionMedium

Construction site planning and permits

The problem

Bygglov handling takes months per kommun. Site planning still relies on PDFs, printouts, and disconnected BIM files. Small builders can't afford enterprise tools.

Opportunity

Kommun-specific permit assistants, lightweight BIM viewers for SMB builders, and machinery / rental marketplaces.

Boverket open dataByggnadsSkanska ventures
EnergyApproachable

Grid-aware energy for households and SMEs

The problem

Timprisade elavtal + heat pumps + EVs mean every household is now a mini grid operator. Existing apps are read-only dashboards.

Opportunity

Automations that shift consumption to cheap/green hours, aggregator platforms for local demand response, and tooling for BRF boards.

TibberGreenelySvenska kraftnät flex markets
AgricultureMedium

Farm-level tools for Swedish agriculture

The problem

Small and mid-size farms in Skåne and Västergötland are being squeezed. Most digital tools are built for German or Dutch scale operations.

Opportunity

Simple field logs on mobile, EU-subsidy compliance helpers, and computer-vision tools that run offline on a phone in a tractor.

Fintech / SMBApproachable

SME accounting beyond Fortnox / Visma

The problem

Solo bolag and small AB owners still stitch together Fortnox, a bank feed, Swish, and an accountant. Onboarding is painful, and everything is in Swedish-only UIs.

Opportunity

Opinionated bookkeeping for freelancers, English-first tooling for foreign founders, and AI-verifierade transactions.

Public sectorMedium

Public procurement discovery and bidding

The problem

Sweden's public procurement is worth ~800 billion SEK/year, but tenders are scattered across Mercell, TendSign, e-Avrop — with clunky search and no proper alerting.

Opportunity

A unified alert feed, AI summaries of tender documents, and matchmaking between small suppliers and relevant tenders.

Föreningsliv & idrott — the invisible backbone

The problem

Every Swedish idrottsförening runs on volunteers using WhatsApp, Excel, Laget.se, and Swish. Data lives nowhere, handovers between styrelser are chaos.

Opportunity

Modern förening OS: membership, LOK-stöd reporting, Swish-first payments, and a proper handover archive.

Working on one of these? Or spot one we missed?

Teknikbyn is a small directory — but the goal is to help match builders to real Swedish problems. Drop a note and we'll add your area (or your project).
