Summer 2008:
Swedish software rocks.
There are at least 500
Swedish software
companies, and half of
their sales are export
sales. Many were
nurtured by Swedish
multinationals, while
others were built by a
couple of guys with an
idea. Giants picked up
some, as when Ebay paid
$2.6 billion for Skype
(2005), IBM bought
Telelogic for $750 million
(2007) and Sun Micro-
systems forked over
$1 billion for MySQL (2007).
And a couple of years
ago EA scooped up
Digital Illusions (DICE)
for $23 million.
Others, like QlikTech,
remain independent
and head for Nasdaq.
19 Regional Chambers of Commerce located all over the U.S., service more than 2,300 members. This is the network you cannot do without!
