“Future technologies will continue to increase the possibilities within IoT in general, and transportation and automotive in particular. As more devices become connected over time, the solutions based on the technological ecosystem will create the real boom of IoT”, said Mats Lundquist, CEO at Telenor Connexion. “The business summit is a great forum for discussing this development, sharing best practices and expertise, as Japan and Sweden have very much in common in the area of next-generation’s transportation infrastructure.”

The business delegation is organized by Team Sweden, represented by Business Sweden and the Embassy of Sweden, in partnership with Keizai Dōyukai, the Japan Association of Corporate Executives.
