Two out of three companies on this year’s Top 33 list have grown within an incubator

When Ny Teknik today unveiled the 2026 ‘33 List’ – Sweden’s most promising young technology companies – it became clear that 22 of the 33 companies have received support from an incubator that is a member of SISP. Of these 22 companies, 14 are still active within an incubator and 8 are alumni – and a total of twelve of SISP’s member incubators are represented on the list.

A seal of quality for young technology companies

Every year, Ny Teknik compiles the ‘33 List’ of Sweden’s most promising young technology companies. The companies must have their own technology and international potential, be no more than seven years old and unlisted.

For the companies, the list serves as a mark of quality that enhances their visibility and builds trust amongst investors, customers and partners. This year’s companies range from textile recycling and photonic chips for data centres to radar for self-driving cars, autonomous electric tractors and satellite technology.

The list is a key enabler for the future

One of the companies is Synclair Vision, which develops AI-based camera systems for drones and is part of LEAD in Linköping.

“It’s obviously fantastic to be included in a top list, especially the Top 33 list! Now we just need to make sure we live up to expectations and deliver, and I have no doubt whatsoever that we will,” says Carl Wikström, CEO of Synclair Vision.

The role of incubators in Sweden’s innovative capacity

Incubators support companies during the early and most uncertain phase. There, companies gain access to expertise, networks, funding and a safe environment in which to test and develop their ideas. Many of this year’s companies have their roots in research carried out at universities and colleges across the country. Incubators often act as a bridge, enabling people to take their research further and then set up companies, with the incubator then providing support in areas such as coaching, customers, capital and so on.

Huge congratulations to all the companies on the list and to the incubators that have been part of the journey!
