Sweden - KTH, Stockholm’s Royal Institute of Technology, and Scania AB of Sodertalje, have extended their current agreement to strengthen their long-standing partnership. Scania says KTH plays a pivotal role in helping Scania prepare for the future with the increasing need for advanced technologies in areas of connectivity, electrification and digitalisation.

Commenting on the benefits, Henrik Henriksson, President and CEO, Scania, said: “KTH and Scania have constantly challenged one another since the first agreement was signed in 2011. This partnership is one of our strongest, and we aim to sustain and develop it in the years to come. KTH adds depth to our various activities and helps strengthen employee knowledge and skills. One example is the e-learning course on e-mobility that we have developed together.” Sigbritt Karlsson, KTH President is of the same opinion, adding: “By further strengthening our collaboration with Scania, together we take another very important step toward creating impact and having an important role in the societal development.”
