Skellefteå Kommun is a growing municipality in the north of Sweden. Its population is projected to grow from 74 000 inhabitants to 90 000 in 2030, with the expectation to continue growing even further. The green industrial transformation is also shifting the direction for Northern Sweden. In recent years, the municipality of Skellefteå has become a Swedish and European symbol of growth, future-proof energy solutions and ground-breaking technology. To illustrate, the largest battery factory in Europe has been established in Skellefteå. Together with the richness of natural resources from forests, rivers and minerals, as well as well-developed renewable energy production, it gives this city in the periphery of Europe, unique conditions for the new green industries from a global perspective. The region that until recently had a long period of low development now attracts multi-million industrial investments
