Dear Big Science Sweden members and friends
Swedish expertise continues to achieve success in the international Big Science market. I am absolutely delighted that our member company Freemelt has secured a significant order from Fusion for Energy. This an important milestone for Sweden’s growing role in fusion energy and a fantastic example of how expertise and long-term commitment can lead to international business.

This autumn, we are really looking forward to Big Science Business Forum (BSBF) 2026 in Maastricht on 27–30 October. Most of our team will be on site, together with our colleagues from Norway, Estonia and Latvia. We look forward to welcoming you to the joint Nordic–Baltic Business Pavilion.

I hope to see many of you there!
